[Verse 1]
        C     Bb F           C
Once an angel  --  always an angel
          G                             C
You're as close to heaven as I'll ever be
              C            Bb       F                    C
It's been six years now -- since my ring slipped on your finger
          G               D7                     G
And those years have made -- a better man out of me
[Chorus]
        C     C7           F     D
Once an angel -- always an angel
          C                  G7         C
You're as close to heaven as I'll ever be
[Verse 2]
           C          Bb F                     C
There been times when  --  I've treated you so badly
          G                                   C
I've done things I know -- you'll never understand
        C               Bb        F                C
But you take me back -- turn your eyes towards the window
          G              D7                      G
Where you hide the tears -- you don't want me to see
[Chorus]
        C     C7           F     D
Once an angel -- always an angel
          C                  G7         C
You're as close to heaven as I'll ever be
