I went to the doc to hear the good news
But the message I heard gave me the blues
He told me my body was totally infected
I felt so low, I felt disconnected
He told me the cure was a walk in the park
Then why has my soul turned from light into dark
This experience has become very painful
I prayed to God to send me an angel
They revealed themselves in a metaphysical dream
My soul's been set free,  my soul's been redeemed
I've truly been blessed I'm no longer blue
My prayers have been answered He's now sent me two.

We were walking a slippery *****, we threw caution to the  wind
We thought nothing regarding the repercussions of our sins
We got caught in the rip current and lost sight of the  shore
Our lives were set adrift, not knowing  what's in store
The storm clouds were gathering but we didn't heed the signs
Of the approaching hurricane  that was about to change our lives
We tried to fight the tide but to no avail
Now our lives are nothing but a living hell
We were wandering aimlessly on the highway of life
Neither would admit it we were both so full of pride
We were riding on empty with no station in sight
We tried to change directions but couldn't get it right
Searching desperately we both ran out of gas
At that point we were in dire need of a moral compass
As time went by we seemed to drift apart
Wish I could go back and make another start.

I tried so many times to tell you how I feel
The love I have for you is one  I can't conceal
Every time I try to tell you I fall flat on my face
Anytime I'm near you I'm just a hopeless case
I'm in so deep, I'm afraid of tipping my hand
If I told you how I feel you wouldn't understand
Our friendship is much more than I ever planned
I know you think of me as just another stagehand
Wish I had the cajones to climb off this old fence
But until then I'll just have to be content
To be a small part of you.

I used to take for granted a pretty woman by my side
It  made me feel so good to that I will confide
I wish I could go back and savor every moment
It made me feel alive it made me feel so vibrant
I thought those days would last, I thought it was forever
Be thankful for the gifts you have through every kind of weather
I used to work out every day, my body was a rock
But gravity's relentless,  I  can't  rewind the clock.

Whenever I hear smooth jazz I think of you
You bring me up when I'm feeling blue
Your tanned body is just so silky  smooth
One touch from you is like the fountain of youth
Your strut is like clockwork, you never miss a beat
I stare in amazement,  you put me in heat
Whenever you leave me  I feel so incomplete
I'm not proud, I willingly  concede defeat
As you come closer and  whisper in my ear
I reach around and release the clasp of your brassiere
As I lay in a state of total surrender
Your touch is magic,  I could stay here forever
I need your love so badly.  I ache for your caress
I truly am a lucky man, I truly have been blessed

Sometimes we would walk together in the park
We would lose track of time and stay out after dark
It seems  you never really appreciate someone til they're gone
My soul's been rocked,  I swear I can't go on
I used to think you were my anchor, You held me down
Truth is you were my anchor, you kept me on course, kept me from going aground
Spring has sprung,   the flowers are in bloom
I feel your presence, I smell your sweet perfume
Your smile was infectious, it would light up a room
I need your smile now to chase away the gloom
Ever since you've left my world's a  shade of blue
I wander through life without the slightest clue
My life has no meaning since you said we were through
Please come back darling,  I miss you.

I was in a downward spiral circling the drain
My life was a constant battle with perpetual pain
The prognosis was not good, in fact it was grim
My world was upside down, the lights were growing dim
It felt as if my soul was mired in a bog
When there she was. a  beacon shining through the fog
She appeared to me in a lucid dream
And  helped me recover all my self esteem
She gave me one of the greatest blessings of all -HOPE
And gave me a reason to live and a formula to cope
How do you thank someone who has given you a gift so precious
She brought me into the light from the brink of darkness
She has absolutely no idea what she means to me
She is truly an angel and has set my spirit free.
