Angel

"Angel" expresses a sense of awe and wonderment towards a person in the singer's life. The lyrics portray the subject as someone who brings immense joy and happiness to the singer, with their presence able to make all sadness disappear. The repeated phrase "You must be an angel" suggests that the subject possesses qualities that are divine and ethereal. The singer compares the subject to an angel in disguise, emphasizing their beauty, wonder, and surprise. The imagery of walking down a crowded avenue and only being able to focus on the subject amplifies their importance, making everyone else seem insignificant in comparison. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of fate and destiny. The singer believes that their encounter with the subject is not a mere coincidence, but rather a dream come true. This notion strengthens the notion that the subject is an angel, as their appearance in the singer's life feels almost otherworldly. Ultimately, the song implies that the subject is a source of happiness, fulfillment, and divine presence in the singer's life. The reference to clouds disappearing in the outro suggests that being with the subject brings clarity, peace, and a sense of lightness.

[Verse 1] Why am I standing on a cloud Every time you're around? And my sadness disappears Every time you are near [Pre-Chorus] You must be an angel I can see it in your eyes Full of wonder and surprise And just now, I realize [Chorus] Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel in disguise I can see it in your eyes [Verse 2] Walking down a crowded avenue Other faces seem like nothing next to you And I can't hear the traffic rushing by Just the poundin' of my heart and that's why [Pre-Chorus] You must be an angel I can see it in your eyes Full of wonder and surprise And just now, I realize [Chorus] Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel in disguise I can see it in your eyes Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel in disguise I can see it in your eyes [Post-Chorus] You're an angel You're an angel, baby You're an angel You must be an angel [Verse 3] Now I believe that dreams come true 'Cause you came when I wished for you This just can't be coincidence The only way that this makes sense is that [Chorus] Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel in disguise I can see it in your eyes Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel Ooh, you're an angel in disguise I can see it in your eyes [Post-Chorus] You're an angel You're an angel, baby You're an angel You must be an angel, baby [Outro] Clouds just disappear
