Although his Fhand came back empty
he's Creally not worried 
because he Gknows it still shines.

C Am

He searched for those wings that he knew

that this angel should have at her back.

And although he can't find them

he really don't mind

because he knows they'll grow back.

C Am

And he reached for that halo that he knows

that she had when she first caught his eye.

Although his hand came back empty

he's really not worried

because he knows it still shines.

[Chorus]
