Written by natalie cole and richard marx I never thought i'd ever make it, i can't believe the hell i've been through Couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, i didn't know what to do I've been through the rain, i've been through the fire There was something that i never knew Chorus I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine Must be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there all the time (angel, must be an angel) this world can be so cold and so heartless Its hard to find your way alone, i used to run so fast, no one could catch me I couldn't find the way back home, but i've laughed, i've cried I almost died, but my broken heart just never knew Chorus I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine Got to be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there Right there all the time, everybody needs someone to cling to With an unchanging love, i finally found a hand to hold on to A shelter to run to, now i see he's watching over me Chorus (angel on my shoulder, angel) i've got an (angel on my shoulder) Angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine Got to be an (angel on my shoulder), angel on my shoulder Who was right there, right there, right there all the time Got to be an angel, an angel, an angel, right there all the time
