When Sunshine met Charles,
They were both broken
They had long discussions
In the back of the car.
They both agreed
It's hard not to love someone
When you first see
How fragile they are.
They didn't make a sound,
When the day of the angel
Is coming around.
And how do you keep it together,
In a world that's choking with harm,
One way that they found
To keep it together
Was holding each other,
Together in the dark.
It's time not to be lost anymore.
When the day of the angel
Is outside your door.
She said, "All I want,
Is something to believe in,
Something I can hold in my hand,
Something I can understand."
When they began unloving each other,
The distance between them began to set in,
She broke the rule about keeping it together
By taking things apart,
And one thing was him.
Yes, in bed but not in love,
The day of the angel
Is one more thing gone.
Love is a thing
That hangs on when it's over,
Like unscrambling eggs
Or trying not to think,
And uncertain smiles
They quickly grow older
With days of lost comfort
That no one can bring
There's nothing a friend can say,
When the day of the angel
Is falling away.
She said, "All I want,
Is something to believe in,
Something I can hold in my hand,
Something I can understand."
She was sixteen,
When she found Jesus.
He was a Puerto Rican kid
And he lived next door.
They got married
And they loved each other
All the way
Until the day they didn't anymore.
It's time to recycle your pain,
When the day of the angel,
Comes back again.
She said, "All I want,
Is something to believe in,
Something I can hold in my hand,
Something I can understand."
