An Appreciation For Earth Angels

This is perhaps the easiest piece that I’ve ever had to write. It’s easy in the sense that expressing my love for you has never been difficult. You’re ingrained in my DNA, and are now officially a part of my being. So it’s only right that I share with the rest of the world my eternal gratitude for one of God’s greatest gifts.

That gift of course, being you.

You’re my earth angel … the one that adds depth and substance to my life … the one that makes me feel like anything’s possible … the one that I would scratch and claw to give the world to … or at least die trying.

So if anyone questions the origin of my inner peace, let them wonder no more. It’s all because of you … my precious gift … my guardian angel.

The Key Lyrics

Verse 1
Wasn’t looking for anyone.
Were you sent here for me?
Did you come to take away my lonely?
Now that I got you I’m begging you baby, don’t leave.
Don’t leave. Stay here with me.

This is real baby, give me your undivided.
Everything that was wrong, girl you righted.
You knew just what I needed and you provided.
Yes you provided.

And now I’m so overjoyed.
Girl, you fill my void.
And you got a special place here.
You put joy inside my tears.

And this isn’t make-believe.
You found your way to me.
You deserve angel wings.
Of that I’m certain.

Chorus …

Verse 2
And if there’s anything that you need I’mma give that to you.
Yes, I know I was lost before I knew you.
Now you’re here and together we’re gonna get through.
We gon’ make it through girl.

Said, I got you no matter the situation.
I’ll encourage you, I’ll be your motivation.
And whenever you need inspiration
You can look to me.
