Angel Above My Head
Neil Diamond Lyrics

If you're gonna be true to me
If you want to be loyal and honest in our relationship

First you've got to be true to yourself
You have to be honest and true to your own feelings and beliefs first

Oh yeah
An expression of agreement and affirmation

It don't matter about nobody else
Other people's opinions and judgments are not important

Oh no
An expression of disagreement or concern

If it's there in your mind
If you truly believe and feel it

It's a lesson I've just come to learn
I have recently learned this important lesson

Something
Referring to the lesson mentioned earlier

That I've only just begun to learn
I still have much to understand and apply from this lesson

For the very first time
Experiencing something new and profound

Angel above my head
A metaphorical symbol representing a source of guidance and reassurance

Calling my name in different places
Sending a message and sign everywhere I go

Saying it's alright to show your face to the world
Encouraging and affirming to be confident and authentic in public

Everything seems new to me
Feeling like everything is novel and unfamiliar

Such a very recent turn of events
Referring to a significant change that happened recently

And the truth
Referring to a difficult reality or fact

Just doesn't make any sense
Seems illogical and hard to comprehend

If we had another year or two
If we had more time together

I would spend it being near to you
I would prioritize being close and connected to you

Like the very first time
Recreating the initial excitement and passion of our relationship

Tapping me gently on my shoulder
Providing a subtle hint or reminder

Saying it's time to be growing older, my friend
Implying that it's time for personal growth and maturity

Keep me there in your mind
Remember and value our relationship and connection

I'll be there by your side
Assuring that I will be supportive and present
