Angels
Jessica Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

Line by Line Meaning
I sit and wait
I wonder if an angel is watching over me
Does an angel contemplate my fate
Is there an angel looking out for me and my future?
And do they know The places where we go
Does the angel know the ups and downs of our lives?
When we're grey and old
When we're old and aged
'Cause I have been told
I've heard it said
That salvation lets their wings unfold
Salvation allows them to spread their wings and give us protection
So when I'm lying in my bed
When I'm lying down to sleep
Thoughts running through my head
My mind is racing
And I feel the love is dead
When I feel love is lost
I'm loving angels instead
I turn to angels for comfort and love
And through it all she offers me protection
The angel provides comfort and protection
A lot of love and affection
The angel provides a great deal of care and attention
Whether I'm right or wrong
Regardless of whether I make mistakes or do things correctly
And down the waterfall
Through the difficult and trying times
Wherever it may take me
No matter where life takes me
I know that life won't break me
I know that I'll be able to handle whatever comes my way
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
The angel will always be there when I need comfort and support
I'm loving angels instead
I find comfort and love in angels
When I'm feeling weak
When I'm feeling vulnerable
And my pain walks down a one way street
When my pain feels like a one-way road leading nowhere
I look above
I look to the heavens for help
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
I'm confident that I will always be loved and blessed
And as the feeling grows
As my love and comfort from the angel grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
The angel gives me new life and energy
And when love is dead
When love is lost
I'm loving angels instead
I turn to angels for love and comfort

I sang backup for her a few times and she was so much fun to work with. She is a unique singer. Her stylist choices aren’t for everyone
@Straight1999
Me to I worked with miss Houston too
@oliverflorence539
I wished she would've got with a vocal coach that helped her reduce the strain in her belt. And maybe sing in mezzo or contralto keys. Gladys Knight says her vocal teacher told her, that her highest note was bflat, and if she sang past it often, she wouldn't have longevity in her career. Well, this was in the 1950s. She's still singing.

I sang backup for her too. Also for Mariah, Whitney and Celine. And for Marilyn Manson and Nirvana. And for Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. And for Elvis and The Beatles.

A very underrated music artist with a five octave range. Just about every song out there Jessica can slay and this is one of my favorite songs from her. She has a very unique voice and there is no one else that has a voice like her
