Angel - Mad-Eyes - Madonna single lyrics

ANGEL

Lyrics

Why am I standing on a cloud
Everytime you're around
And my sadness disappears
Everytime you are near

You must be an angel
I can see it in your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
And just now I realize

Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
In disguise
I can see it in your eyes

Walking down a crowded avenue
Other faces seem like nothing next to you
And I can't hear the traffic rushing by
Just the pounding of my heart and that's why

You must be an angel
I can see it in your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
And just now I realize

Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
In disguise
I can see it in your eyes

Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
In disguise
I can see it in your eyes

You're an angel
You're an angel baby
You're an angel
You must be an angel

Now I believe that dreams come true
'Cuz you came when I wished for you
This just can't be coincidence
The only way that this makes sense is that

Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
In disguise
I can see it in your eyes

Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
In disguise
I can see it in your eyes

You're an angel
You're an angel baby
You're an angel
You must be an angel baby

Clouds just disappear

Album

Like A Virgin

Single

The third single of the Like A Virgin album is often forgotten. In the US it was released in April 1985, after the overly successful singles Like A Virgin and Material Girl. The B-single Into The Groove, from Desperately Seeking Susan, was actually much more popular and was probably the reason why Angel got to #5 in the US charts and reached Gold. In Australia, Angel with Into The Groove as its B-single became her second #1. In Europe Into The Groove was released separately, and Angel reached #5 in the UK on its own in the fall of 1985. In Japan it climbed up to #3.

Video

Angel, the video One other reason why Angel isn't well known is the fact that it didn't get an official video. However there's a video compiled of images from Burning Up, Borderline, Lucky Star, Like A Virgin and Material Girl.

Tour

This song was also performed on the Virgin Tour.
