Angels Must Smile Like That (2010)

[Intro]
This next song, "Angels Must Smile Like That," was inspired by my wife. And this song was one that I did with the trio back on the tour quite awhile back with my son and Steve Hindalong, and this seemed to really connect every time with the crowd. It's--it's, uh, it's a theme of redemption and love keeping us from drowning.

[Verse 1]
Woke up lying in her garden bed
The sun came up behind her head
I touched her hair, then brushed it back
Oh, angels must smile like that

[Verse 2]
She's a picture of the world to come
A beautiful and holy one
I rest my head against her lap
Ah, angels must smile like that

[Bridge]
Was she flesh and blood, breathing in
The juniper and the jasmine?
When the night fell
Was that stardust in her eyes?
Moonlight glistening on her skin
Her skin like porcelain
Skin like porcelain

[Verse 3]
Love and mercy graced the prayer she'd said
That pulled me from the riverbed
Body heat flows, brought me back
Oh, angels must smile like that
Angels must smile like that
Angels must smile like that
