I wrote this song two weekends ago. I was driving home one evening when the first few lines occurred to me. I worked on it for three days before finishing the lyrics.
This is the first song I’m publishing on my publishing schedule First Verse. Hope you like it.
I dedicate it to my wife, who although she is not African, she’s American, her ancestors were African. If you wish let me know what you think of it.
AFRICAN ANGEL *
Skin so soft, smell so sweet
Hair so dark, eyes so deep
Wish I knew just what you were
I think that once I might have heard
Of African angels
Yes, African angels
I wonder now if you might be…
An African angel
Your lips invite, rich and full
Whisper me a miracle
I want to know just who you are
Are you the same or similar…
To an African angel?
Some African angel?
Where will I go
Having been with you
When will I know
If this is true?
When will you prove
What I think I know
That you heard above
When I prayed below
For an African angel
Yes, an African angel
Oh, where can I go
Once I’ve seen you
When will I know
If this is true?
When will we
Take up your wings
See if we don’t both agree
You’re doing everything
Like an African angel
Well, I dreamt of gold and Zanzibar
Of silver seas and endless stars
The nights were black the moon was bright
You smiled at me, I saw the light
Of an African angel
My African Angel
My African Angel…
