Lyrics
You never grew tired of holding my hand
The sound of your voice made me sleep
I knew when you gave me the love that you had
It would always be mine to keep
Then fallible angels came calling on you
I told them they had it wrong
And I promised I'd tell the whole world one day
And I'd tell them by writing this song
No matter how many years pass me by
There isn't a day I don't see
How fortunate my life has been
Cause you always smile down on me
But fallible angels........
The arms that once held me felt like warm clouds
Protected by heroes unknown
I would have fought all of them down to the last
If only I'd known
The fallible angels.........
