Perfect Angel

Minnie Riperton Perfect Angel Lyrics
1.Reasons

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

The reasons for my life are in a million faces
Like aching promises i feel them in my bones
Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road
The reasons for my life are more than i can hold
But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright
You're not alone
You're not alone

The reasons for my life are buried in deep places
Words once could awaken them
These seeds that i have sown
Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold
The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold

The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces
Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along
Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load
The reasons for my life are more than i was told


2.It's So Nice

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

It's so nice to see old friends
'cause we've all gotten very much higher
It's so nice when you come around again
Sits, and laugh, have a smoke by the fire
I know it won't be long
I know it won't be long
I know it won't be long
Before we're one

It's so nice to see you again
Though the world be a little bit colder
Still it's fun, we should meet here again
Stay a while, rest your head on my shoulder
I know it won't be long
I know it won't be long
I know it won't be long
Before we're one


3.Take A Litte Trip

(s. wonder)

Take a little trip through your mind and explore it
Take another trip on a magic carpet ride
Take a little trip through your mind and explore it
Take a closer look at the you you're tryin' to hide

You're the one who always wants to have your way
And like the sky it's you whose feelings change with every day
And you think there's righteousness in all you say
And you won't try to reach inside, so

You're the one who says the things you don't believe
And when you need to be you can't distinguish you from me
And you think your lines have over-all control
But your mind can't see, for blindin' your soul, so


4.Seeing You This Way

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

La la la la la la la la la la...

Seeing you this way makes me feel so happy
Seeing you this way makes me feel so good
You come alive
You fill the world with magic
When you move this way
You fill the world with love

Seeing you this way makes me feel so happy
Thank you, thank you for your love
La la la la la la la la la la
I just wanna thank you


5.The Edge Of A Dream

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

The ripples run into the sun
And your smile blends with the clouds that flutter by me
As i sit on the edge of a dream
What do i see? what do i see?

I see the children playing in the sun
And there is love enough for each and everyone
As i sit on the edge of a dream
That's what i see! that's what i see!

Things that might be, if we look we just might see
Paint the world so brightly, let our freedom ring

Merry-go-round without a sound
I hear your song in the breeze that rock-a-byes me
As i sit on the edge of a dream
What do i see? what do i see?

I see the lord inside of everyone
Can it be my dream will really come
As i sit on the edge of a dream
That's what i see! that's what i see!

Things that might be, if we look we just might see
Paint the world so brightly, let our freedom ring

And here comes the morning sun
I wonder if my dream will really come
As i site on the edge of a dream
That's what i see! that's what i see!


6.Perfect Angel

(s. wonder)

What we're making is history
Fooling impossibility
Making love, not a fantasy
Love is true, love is you
Making story book dreams come true
Feeling just enough love for two
There's such magic in being with you
Cause it's true, loving you

And i think you are the perfect angel
I think you are the perfect one
And i think you are the perfect angel
I think you are the perfect one

Long ago we played hide-go-seek
Kissing under the apple tree
Who could tell me that this would bring
Me to you, you to me, yeah
Since the start, you have been my love
Giving infinite paradise
Every night i wanna thank him twice for your love
Your sweet love

My mama told me if i was goodie
That i would find me someone to love me


7.Every Time He Comes Around

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

Everytime he comes around i feel like i'm on fire
When he looks into my eyes and sees down to my soul
It's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love i need to make my spirit whole
How am i to know?

Now i ain't lookin' for a man to hold me for an hour
I ain't lookin' for a man to love me for a day
Every time he comes around i get the funny feelin'
What i'm looking for don't matter anyway
Hey, it don't matter anyway

'cause every since i was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around i feel like i'm on fire
When he whispers in my ear i start to lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love i need to make my spirit whole
How am i to know?

Cause every since i was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around i feel like i'm on fire
Mmmm, i lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love i need to make my spirit whole


8.Lovin' You

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful
and lovin' you is soul i wanna do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that i do is soul of lovin' you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
every day my life is filled with lovin' you

Lovin' you i see your soul come shinin' through
every time that we oooooh
I'm so in love with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do


9.Our Lives

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

Any day now can't you see
You'll be coming back to me
Comin' back to where you wanna be
And the time that you've been gone
Will vanish like the song
Sung by the rain when we were fast asleep

And our days will be filled by the light of children's laughter
All our nights will be touched by the glow of lover's songs
Side by side in the sun we will build the world we're after
Side by side we will lie when the day's good work is done

Any day now can't you see
You'll be sitin' here by me
Laughing at the fools we used to be
And the things that we've done wrong
Will be now dead and gone
Buried out beneath our apple tree

And our days will be filled by the light of children's laughter
All our nights will be touched by the glow of lover's songs
Side by side in the sun we will build the world we're after
Side by side we will lie when the day's good work is done

I love you
