If You're An Angel
The Tony Rich Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Missin' your every touch
I smelly your perfume
My skin is warm
But it's cold in here
And every now and then
I find a strand of your hair
Remember when we cried, all night
And I saw god in your eyes
If you're an angel
Then let me fly with you
If I'm your baby
Then turn my gray skies to blue
I was so destined to have you
But sometimes I regret how deep I feel in love
'Cause I built my whole life around you
Now you're gone and my world is fallin' down
Remember when I tried to kiss you
And you said you had to leave
If you're an angel
Then let me fly with you
If I'm your baby
Then turn my gray skies to blue
There is no livin' without you here
There can be no heaven, too much to fear
What if I told you I would die
If you didn't come back in my life
If you're an angel
Then let me fly with you
If I'm your baby
Then turn my gray skies to blue
If you're an angel
Then let me fly with you
If I'm your baby
Then turn my gray skies to blue

Sittin' alone in my bedroom
I am by myself in my room.
Missin' your every touch
I want to feel your touch again.
I smelly your perfume
I can still smell your scent.
My skin is warm
I am feeling emotions deeply.
But it's cold in here
Despite feeling deeply, I am still sad.
And every now and then
Occasionally, I find a small reminder of you.
I find a strand of your hair
I discover a part of you that you've left behind.
Remember when we cried, all night
I recall a moment we shared when we both cried together.
And I saw god in your eyes
Your eyes were a window to something divine.
If you're an angel
If you are heavenly.
Then let me fly with you
Then please take me with you.
If I'm your baby
If I am yours.
Then turn my gray skies to blue
Please make my life colorful again.
I was so destined to have you
I felt that we were meant to be together.
But sometimes I regret how deep I feel in love
At times, I feel like loving you this much was a mistake.
Cause I built my whole life around you
My world revolved around you.
Now you're gone and my world is fallin' down
You leaving has caused my world to crash around me.
Remember when I tried to kiss you
I recall trying to kiss you.
And you said you had to leave
But you had to go.
There is no livin' without you here
I cannot imagine living without you by my side.
There can be no heaven, too much to fear
Without you, there is no paradise, only fear.
What if I told you I would die
If I said I would rather die without you.
If you didn't come back in my life
If you never returned to me.

Tony Rich got his start in the music industry as a staff writer at LaFace Records. While there, Rich penned hits for Boyz II Men, Johnny Gill, TLC and Toni Braxton.
While living in Detroit, Rich started playing in jazz fusion and soul bands and worked with local Detroit songwriters. It was at this time that John Salley, Detroit Pistons player and record producer, encouraged Rich to work with his artists and to even make his own tracks.
Meeting with R&B singer Pebbles, Tony Rich was introduced to her then-husband L.A. Reid. As co-founder of LaFace Records, Reid convinced Rich to move to Atlanta and to begin writing and producing for established acts. One of Rich's first projects was a session with Elton John and Sounds of Blackness for a Curtis Mayfield tribute LP. He then expanded his portfolio to include work with the previously mentioned stars.
In early 1996, Rich made his solo debut with the cd Words and the hit single Nobody Knows, which made it to number 2 on the top 100. Both the album and single went platinum and in 1997, Tony Rich won the Grammy for Best Male R&B album. The album featured two Grammy-nominated singles, Like A Woman and Nobody Knows.
The album was followed up in 1998 by Birdseye which, while critically praised, failed to generate much commercial success. Rich seemingly disappeared from the music world for several years after his album's release.
In 2003, Rich came back on the scene with the album Resurrected. Carrying a very different style this time around, the album featured Rich rocking out on the guitar as well as singing smooth ballads.
In 2006, Rich released a fourth album, Pictures. The album contains snapshots of a relationship, and is far more in the veins of his earlier works.
In 2008, he released his fifth album, Exist through Hidden Beach Recordings. Originally it was set for release on September 16, however it was pushed back to September 23, 2008. The album features download-only single, Part the Waves.

I love Tony Rich's music that even my Daughter that time 1998 was four years old remembered every word and sings along with me in the car.
