I
Jody Watley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No mountain's too high for you to climb
All you have to do is have some kind of faith, oh, yeah
No river's too wide to make it across
All you have to do is believe when you pray

And then you will see the morning will come
And everyday will be bright as the sun
Hold on your fears, cast them on me
I just want you to see

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel, I'm your angel

I saw your tear drops and I heard you cry
All you need is time, seek me and you shall find, you
You have everything and you're still lonely
It don't have to be this way, let me show you a better day

And then you will see the morning will come
And all of your days will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears, just cast them on me
How can I make you see

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel, I'm your angel

And when it's time to face the storm,
I'll be right by your side
Grace will keep us safe and warm,
I know we'll survive, we'll survive
And when it seems as if your end this growing year
End is growing near
Don't you dear give up the fight
Oh, no just put trust beyond the skies

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry, cry
I hear your voices when you call me, call me
I am your angel, your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here,
When all hope is all gone
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel, I'll be your

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices,
I hear your voices when you call me
I hear your voices
I am your angel, I am your angel

And when all hope is gone I'm here,
When all hope is gone
No matter how far you are, I'm near,
Far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are,
I hear your voice
I am your angel, your angel, oh

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
Cloud in the sky
Your shoulder to cry
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
Baby Oh, yeah
I hear your voices when you call me,




Oh, ho, oh, ho
Ho oh I'm your angel

Jody is one beautiful woman! Man, the ladies from the 80's/early 90's were so amazing! We don't have classy, beautiful singers anymore like Jody Watley, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, En Vogue, Karyn White, Toni Braxton, Chante Moore, etc.

@rayshawnlamarbutler120

And don’t forget a beautiful woman of that era (70s/80s/90s) with a soulful voice…Teena Marie

@aleximalmgren5301

@@rayshawnlamarbutler120 IT all synthetic these days .

@haqahmuqaribu5837

Right on 😂

@qaw8707

True. Where they at now.

@strauqq1

Too Funky and the production is incredible. This whole album was 🔥 🔥 I would play it over and over.

@blakkone4000

Yes! Jody should definitely get more credit. It's not like she hasn't made ANY impact. She is a Grammy nominee AND winner and she had some very Iconic videos such as "Real Love","Friends" and others. To me she was a trailblazer. I still follow her music! I'm a true fan and I don't believe in discarding an artist just because they aren't "in the game" anymore or so to speak. I like to remeber them for the body of work they've created-especially the ones whose influence is so obvious.

@richh650

She is so classy, elegant, smooth, and .... stunning!

@Jamietheroadrunner

Man, I remember her. She was THE most stylish, catchiest, pop/R&B girl around. Even Madonna couldn't touch her. Go Jody!!!!!

@firouz4296

Jody is among the innovators and this video is probably the first „reveal“ of all time!
The moment that dress comes off and she still rocks the leotard with class and style is everything 💕
