lyrics

Heaven knows I never came close to holy
hell no, They'd never buy that load of baloney
Still I hope they can find a way to employ me as some beauty in this life

I have a job in mind:
I could Shine down below me
On all the alleyways so they don’t seem so lonely
end of the day, you’d stop wherever you’re going and say “it’s beautiful tonight”
And that would make me feel alright

Chorus:
Angels don’t retire
They got somewhere to be
And if I don’t make the choir
I’m hoping to be
The sunset in the alley

So If I’m on oxygen, taking medicine,
Slowly losing my memory and all my energy
Hold me…
But when my time has come baby ya gotta let go of me cuz duty calls above

But when I’m gone and ya need a bit of consoling
You know my truest self of all the people who know me
I’m ready for the job cuz you have already shown more beauty in this life than I could ever hope to know
