Now the music is playing
 
 In a whiskey saloon
 
 It comes through my window
 
 Like a favorite tune
 
  
  I can walk down the stairway
 
 I can walk down the street
 
 And lay down my money
 
 But it's not what I need
  
 
 Let me fly on your wings
 
 Rise above these earthly things
 
 Make it all be alright
 
 Angel of the night, angel of the night
  
 
 There's a weight on my shoulder
 
 That won't let me be
 
 Like something left over
 
 Between you and me
  
 
 I know there's a danger
 
 Whenever we touch
 
 It's always the last time
 
 But it's never enough
  
 
 Let me fly on your wings
 
 Rise above these earthly things
 
 Make it all be alright
 
 Angel of the night, angel of the night
  
 
 Let me fly on your wings
 
 Rise above these earthly things
 
 Make it all be alright
 
 Angel of the night, angel of the night
