Your Angel Steps Out Of Heaven

Lyrics

You tell me you married an angel

She's made heaven out of your home

You say there couldn't be rainbows without her

She's brought you happiness you've never known

You may hate me for what I will tell you

But you'll thank me for setting you right

While you work to keep angels in heaven

Your angel steps out of heaven each night

Her heaven's not the same as you're living in

It's any place where there's music and some free drink thrown in

So call her your angel, I won't say you're not right

But your angel steps out of heaven each night

Yes, your angel steps out of heaven each night
