Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You melt my heart
I′ve been waiting for an angel
Lord, i'm ready to start
Waited so long,
I Swear it′s true
I got everything girl all that'S missing is you
Angel Love
Come for me
Come for me
Angel
Angel Love
Come for me
Come for me
Angel
Come on!
Don't wanna play games
Be your one night stand
If you got a bunch of problems girl
Then i ain′t your man
Come on angel
Make love with me
Tell me, Are you written in my destiny?
Angel Love
Come for me
Come for me
Angel
Angel Love
Come for me
Come for me
Angel
Come on!
My heart′s on fire
With a love affair
Said i'm lonely
The pain is so hard to bear
Hold on, Don′t go
Don't pass me by
Nothing lasts forever
But my dread will never die
Angel Love
Come for me
Come for me
Angel
Angel Love
Come for me
Come for me
Angel
When it′s so right
To be by your side
Now that you're with me
We can touch the sky
Somehow baby,
Oh baby...
The lyrics to Santana's song Angel Love tell the story of a man who has been waiting for the love of his life to come into his world. The song begins with the man expressing his love and how it melts his heart. He then goes on to say that he's been waiting for an angel, and he's ready to start a relationship. He has been waiting for so long, but now he has everything he needs except the woman he loves. The man asks his angel love to come to him and be with him. He assures her that he's not interested in playing games or being her one night stand. However, he asks her if she is written in his destiny and if they are meant to be together.
The second verse of the song describes the man's feelings about love. He says that his heart is on fire and he's lonely because he hasn't found the love of his life yet. He urges his angel love not to pass him by and to give him a chance. He knows that nothing lasts forever, but his love for her will never die. The last part of the song speaks to the power of love. The man sings that being with his love is so right, and together they can touch the sky. He ends the song by reaffirming his love for his angel.
