It`s really been a long time
Since I let somebody hold me
Since I felt safe in somebody`s arms, emm emm
You were a good friend I could confide in
But after all the lies he told me
I couldn`t let nobody in my heart
I was torn apart
All this time you`ve been right here
He`s been doing nothing but wrong
And though the best thing in my life was
Here with me all along
Chorus
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You`d give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never Knew
He kissed away my tears
And now they`ve disappeared
You make me feel SAFE in somebody`s arms
You`re the kind that can do me no harm
These questions everybody ASKS me
They say THEY`VE never seen me so happy
But that`s a secret between you and me
They don`t know nothing about us baby
Can`t let up
Can`t tell anybody that you`re not from around here
They don`t know that you`re an angel
But now it`s all so clear
Chorus
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You`d give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never Knew
Is this a dream
Are you for real
You got me honey
Feeling things that I never thought I`d feel
You taught me love
Don`t have to break my heart in two
That`s just one more of those things
That I never, never knew
I never knew
Right beside me
There was an angel
I never, never knew (that my heart could fly)
It`s all because of you baby
My life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never knew
