Besides these two songs, five more of Montgomery's singles have reached the top of the country charts: "I Love the Way You Love Me", "Be My Baby Tonight", "If You've Got Love", "I Can Love You Like That", and "The Little Girl", while thirteen more have reached Top Ten. Montgomery's recordings of "I Swear" and "I Can Love You Like That" were both released concurrently with R&B versions by the group All-4-One. Montgomery has also released eleven studio albums, counting a Christmas album.
John Michael joined the family band (which also included his brother, Eddie Montgomery, who would later join Troy Gentry in the duo Montgomery Gentry) as guitarist before taking the lead singing role when his parents divorced. Afterwards, he made a frugal living on the local honky-tonk scene as a solo artist playing what he referred to as "working man's country." Eventually, Atlantic Records signed him.
Angel in My Eyes
John Michael Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I thank my lucky stars
For every second she's here with me
I want to hold her in my arms
She is my day
She is my night
She is the breath that gives me life
And Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to Heaven
I'll ever see
She always be an angel in my eyes
Sometimes I feel her by my side
Like she's watchin' over me
I get a chill runnin' down my spine
And that's all the proof I need
That she fills my heart
She fills my soul
She is the half that makes me whole
Well Sometimes we laugh
And Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to Heaven
I'll ever see
She always be an angel in my eyes
Well Sometimes we laugh
And Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to Heaven
I'll ever see
She always be
She always be
She always be, An angel in my eyes
