Angel Of The Evening
 
When you see her stumble through the bar, if she should start to fall,
please reach out to steady her, it's just the alcohol
If she's in trouble with a crowd of people hanging on
make sure she's not forgetting she can always go on home
 
She's the angel of the evening, toast of the town
She's a queen to all the lonely souls who follow her around
She's a golden hearted lover and she bruises easily
Please take care of her for me
 
If someone should be holding her make sure she wants him to
Treat her kind and gently if that someone should be you
If she starts crying dry the tears and tell her it's ok
Remind her that tomorrow is gonna be another day
 
She's the angel of the evening, toast of the town
She's a queen to all the lonely souls who follow her around
She's a golden hearted lover with a bruise that's plain to see
Please take care of her for me
 
When nights are long and summer's gone she'll drift on out of town
on angel's wings among the stars, somewhere she won't be found
Could it be I've just been dreaming, was she ever even here
Did I stand in silence and watch her disappear
 
She's the angel of the evening, toast of the town
She's a queen to all the lonely souls who follow her around
She's a golden hearted lover and she bruises easily
Please take care of her for me
Please take care of her for me
