I met Michael in late 1996, and fell in love with him New Year's Eve. We were together for nearly 20 years; and though we aren't any more, we're still friends, and he's still an amazing guy. This song tells exactly how I felt at the time, and that feeling remains as one of my most precious memories.

The first time I saw you, you looked up at me,
And smiled, and I tried to take it carefully.

But later we danced, and your face came alight,
I knew then that this time was right.

You've the face of an angel, you beam through the rain.
You light up my soul, I forget all my pain.
You drew me back right from the edges of hell,
With your face, the face of an angel.

The next time I saw you you held out your hand
And touched me, to let me know you understand,
And later you held me, I started to cry,
I'd been hurting, and didn't know why.

You've the touch of an angel, a touch that can heal.
My heart has stopped aching and now I can feel.
You pulled me back right from the edges of hell,
With your touch, the touch of an angel.

And now when I see you my heart jumps for joy,
I'll love you forever, my angelic boy.
And later we'll sit, watch the stars through the night,
You'll hold me, now ev'ry thing's right.

You've the heart of an angel, and you've given me
A light from above and a reason to be.
You drew me back right from the edges of hell,
With your heart, the heart of an angel.
