I couldn't help but overhear your conversation
When you told her that you owned her heart and soul
You say you've got her wrapped around your finger

But there's somethin' about angels you should know

[Chorus:]

She'll walk away one step at a time
It'll take you by surprise
You'll think it happened over night

It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly
They just walk away one step at a time


Don't think that I'm tryin' to mind your business
It's a full time job just tryin' to mind mine
But I once had an angel just like her

And if I'd treated her right she'd still be by my side.

[Chorus]


It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly
They just walk away one step at a time.
