Angels Fall Sometimes
Josh Turner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My chances weren't good; she was way out of my reach
How could she ever fall for some ol' boy like me
But here she lies asleep tonight in these arms of mine
And that goes to show: angels fall sometimes

She's been here long enough to see that I'm no saint by now
Every mornin' I wake surprised to find her still around
The love that she gives to me could be no truer sign
Every now and then angels fall sometimes

She brings pieces of heaven every day into my life
She's been my inspiration with her by my side
I'm not afraid to dream high

The love that she gives to me could be no truer sign




Every now and then angels fall sometimes
Yeah, I thank the Lord angels fall sometimes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Josh Turner's song "Angels Fall Sometimes" describe the wonder and disbelief of the singer as he falls deeply in love with someone who he never thought he could have a chance with. He reflects on how she has brought a little bit of heaven into his life and how amazed he is that someone so pure and angelic could be with someone like him, who is anything but perfect. Despite his flaws and imperfections, he revels in the fact that she is still there beside him every morning.


The singer acknowledges that every once in a while, angels fall from the heavens and onto earth, joining the mere mortals in their struggles and triumphs. He sees his partner as one of these fallen angels, who has added beauty and light to his world. The song is a tribute to the transformative and cathartic power of love, and how it can change someone's worldview completely. The singer recognizes that he is not the same person he was before he met his partner, and that her love has brought him closer to his dreams.


Interestingly, the song was inspired by a real-life incident in Josh Turner's life. He once met a woman on an airplane and felt a strong connection to her, despite the fact that they were complete strangers. He later found out that the woman had died in a car accident, and the experience left a profound impact on him. He wrote "Angels Fall Sometimes" as a way of exploring the themes of love, loss, and grace that he associated with the incident.
