Alabama's Official Video
Angels Among Us


I was walking home from school, on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
But then a kind old man, took my hand, and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone, to come along, and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say, I understand
But ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road
That someone lights the way, with just a single ray of hope

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love
To guide us with a light of love

I've loved this version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Peter Paul and Mary, which I feel is the best rendition ever of Ewan McCall's work, but there's neither lyrics added nor Karaoke of this version that I could find on youtube. Other artists sing this song so slowly it tends to border on boring, although sentimentally beautiful just because some people are.

​

Lyrics
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes and the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love, to the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand - like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love, that was there at my command.

The first time ever I held you near and felt your heart beat close to mine,
I thought our joy to fill the earth
And would last until the end of time, my love, and would last till the end of time.

Loved this song.
