[Intro]
(Go!)
[Verse 1]
My lover's charms are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece, I'll cherish them
Until the end
[Chorus]
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of Heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to Heaven
[Verse 2]
They burn my hands, scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal your breath and throw away
What I despise
[Chorus]
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of Heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to Heaven
[Interlude]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 3]
Between these walls and darkened halls
I've done my time
If I should die before I wake
Then you'll know why
[Chorus]
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of Heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to Heaven (Piece by piece)
Send me an angel to love (Piece by piece)
I need to feel a little piece of Heaven (Piece by piece)
Send me an angel to love (Piece by piece)
I'm afraid I'll never get to Heaven (Piece by piece)
[Outro]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Piece by piece)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Piece by piece)
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
(Piece by piece) Send me an angel
