|
I heard he sang a lullaby
|
I heard he sang it from his heart
|
When I found out thought I would die
|
Because that lullaby was mine
|
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
|
He gently kissed her cherry lips
|
I found that so hard to believe
|
Because his kiss belonged to me
|
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
Why didn't he catch my falling star
|
I wished I didn't wish so hard
|
Maybe I wished our love apart
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
|
I heard her face was white as rain
|
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
|
He keeps her picture in a frame
|
And when he sleeps he calls her name
|
I wonder if she makes him smile
|
The way he used to smile at me
|
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
|
Because his laugh belongs to me
|
|
HOOK
|
|
Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
|
I'm trying to understand
|
Please help me

REMIX:
|
|
I heard he sang a lullaby
|
I heard he sang it from his heart
|
When I found out thought I would die
|
Because that lullaby was mine
|
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
|
He gently kissed her cherry lips
|
I found that so hard to believe
|
Because his kiss belonged to me
|
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
Why didn't he catch my falling star
|
I wished I didn't wish so hard
|
Maybe I wished our love apart
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
|
I heard her face was white as rain
|
(Your face is white as rain)
|
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
|
(Soft as a rose in May)
|
He keeps her picture in a frame
|
(I keep your picture)
|
And when he sleeps he calls her name
|
(I only call out your name)
|
I wonder if she makes him smile
|
(She doesn't make me smile)
|
The way he used to smile at me
|
(I only smile at you)
|
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
|
(She doesn't make me laugh)
|
Because his laugh belongs to me
|
(My laugh belongs to you)
|
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
(You are my heart)
|
Why didn't he catch my falling star
|
(I will catch your star)
|
I wished I didn't wish so hard
|
(Don't wish so hard)
|
Maybe I wished our love apart
|
(Love falls apart)
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
(Your tender heart)
|
|
Oh (My love)
|
My (I know that)
|
Soul (I know your)
|
Is (Is dying)
|
Dying (I know your soul is crying)
|
It's crying (I know that you've been dying)
|
I'm trying (Trying)
|
To understand
|
Please help me (Please help me)
|
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
(I'd never break your heart)
|
Why didn't he catch my falling star
|
(I'd catch your falling star)
|
I wished I didn't wish so hard
|
(You never wished too hard)
|
Maybe I wished our love apart
|
(We're not apart)
|
How could an angel break my heart
|
(Oooh yeah)
