Angel
Dru Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl it's been so long
Since I held you in my arms
So I picked up pen and paper
And decided to write you a song

Things just ain't the same
Since you took your love away
All I have is dark and lonely days
'Cause the sun don't shine my way

Wish that I could find the words to say
To show you love is real
The words just can't express the way I feel

You're my angel
My sun up in the sky
We've been through hell and back together
Why you want to leave me now
Only you can ease the pain I feel
And wipe my tears away
Won't you fly back home and make me whole again

Baby not a day goes bye
That I don't want to cry
When I think of what we had
How you walked out of my life

All I had was yours to take
Till my heart you chose to break
Still wish that I could make love to you
Just one more time for old times sake

If only I could find the words to say
To show you love is real
The words just can't express the way I feel

You're my angel
My sun up in the sky
We've been through hell and back together
Why you want to leave me now
Only you can ease the pain I feel
And wipe my tears away
Won't you fly back home and make me feel whole again
Come back home
Come back home

'Cause without you here beside me
My house is not a home
Only you can ease the pain I feel
And wipe my tears away

Won't you fly back home and make me whole again
You're my angel
My sun up in the sky
We've been through hell and back together

Why you want to leave me now
Only you can ease the pain I feel
And wipe my tears away
Won't you fly back home and make me whole again

You're my angel
My sun up in the sky
We've been through hell and back together
Why you want to leave me now

Only you can ease the pain I feel




And wipe my tears away
You've been gone too long so won't you come back home

Yo, yo can y'all' hear me out there
Let me intoduce myself ladies and gentlemen
See I go by the name of Big Woody Rock
And I'd just like you to take this time right here

To just first of all thank you all for taking the time out to listen to this album

Hope you're enjoying everything you hear so far
Right now I think I need to dedicate this song, this next song coming up to
Every man and woman, boy or girl whoever and wherever you may be, who has ever been
In an relationship that just didn't quite work out

Also this song is dedicated to everybody who comes up to me in all the clubs
Supermarkets, airports, and everywhere else in the world asking me, "Woody when
You gon' do something, when they gon' let you sang?"

Not knowing that man I sung all of "April Showers" a verse on "All Alone"
A verse on "5 Steps" and about half the songs on the album but that's cool y'all
Ain't know

Alright now I just want you to sit back, close your eyes, kick your feet up and
Listen to this song right here 'cause this here is for y'all
Yo smiley, you ready?
Lets do this

This album came out almost 20 years ago and I still love it from start to finish. I wish music went back to this just for a little while

Dynamic Dave

It was a criminally underrated album!!! I loved sisqo best in this group before his solo career. Also, they were the best soul group since boyz ii men!
