THE GHOST OF AN ANGEL written by Sheldon Manoo (1995)


Silhouette was following me
And I was scared to death
What would that stranger do
For no one else was near
I started to run but tripped
Then I heard her laugh
“Did I scare you my friend?”
“I’m sorry.” She enchanted my heart

(Music)

Now looking at her sleep tonight
I feel so fully blessed
Ever since that magic moment
She been relieving all the stress
It’s funny I’m not scared anymore
About anything she does
Though it’s only a hallucination
I’m not alone just because
            She
            Takes me by the soul and mind
            And
            Whisper love soft and divine
             And she does everything
            I want some girl to do
            And she gives everything
            I need some girl to give
            Oh oh
            The comfort of an angel
            A feeling so spiritual
            She says all the words I always love to hear
            And she listens when I pour out my troubles
            Oh oh
            But she’s a ghost from memory
            Lives in my strange fantasy

You see that night when I met her
Was the last night she was alive
No the stranger didn’t kill me
But she did take her own life
But I had never seen one so pretty
And I’ll never have another chance
Cause when the law found her body
I was close by in guilty stance
But it didn’t matter what they did me
It didn’t matter what they all said
An angel came and she love me
And in my mind she isn’t dead! Cause
            She
            Takes me by the soul and mind
            And
            Whisper love soft and divine
             And she does everything
            I want some girl to do
            And she gives everything
            I need some girl to give
            Oh oh
            The comfort of an angel
            A feeling so spiritual
            She says all the words I always love to hear
            And she listens when I pour out my troubles
            Oh oh
            But she’s a ghost from memory
            Lives in my strange fantasy
                  My strange fantasy!

   (Solo)

We’ll make love again tonight
And it wouldn’t be that cold
Ever since that drastic moment
She has been my bolthole!
