Angel of the Evening

"Angel of the Evening"


When you see her stumble through the bar
If she should start to fall
Please reach out to steady her
It’s just the alcohol

If she’s in trouble with a crowd
Of people hangin’ on
Make sure she’s not forgettin’
she can always leave alone.

(CHORUS) She’s the angel of the evening
Toast of the town
She’s a queen to all the lonely souls
Who follow her around
She’s a golden-hearted lover
And she bruises easily
Please take care of her for me.

If someone should be holding her
Make sure she wants him to
Treat her kind and gently
If that someone should be you

If she starts crying dry the tears
And tell her it’s okay
Remind her that tomorrow
Is gonna be another day


(CHORUS) She’s the angel of the evening
Toast of the town
She’s a queen to all the lonely souls
Who follow her around
She’s a golden-hearted lover
With a bruise that’s plain to see
Please take care of her for me.

When nights are long and summer’s gone
She’ll drift on out of town
On angels wings among the stars
Somewhere she won’t be found

Could it be I’ve just been dreamin’
Was she ever even here
Did I stand in silence
And watch her disappear?

(CHORUS)
Won’t you, please take care of her for me.
