It's actually a pretty much true-to-life account of how my wife and I met and ended up getting hitched. And after twelve years, it's still going gloriously.

I Made Love to an Angel

Oh, last night was a special night
Cause I made love to an angel
When she was gone her fragrance and her memory lingered on
I thought that I was doing good
Seeking comfort where I could
But I found an angel and made love to her last night.

It all started with a glance
I thought I’d grab some quick romance
But I found that’s not the way an angel goes about love
It took some time – she ruled my mind
The longest nights I’ve ever known
Til it was clear I’d never want to let her go.

I made precious love last night to one with an angel’s face
And I never thought I would come to know amazing grace
Now, if in Heaven, God should be, well He sure proved Himself to me
When I made love last night to an angel.

So last night was a special night
I got a chance to hold her tight
They say you appreciate those things you work for
Well, Buddy, I worked hard – put up a fight
Til I finally got it right
And I’ll be making love to this angel the rest of my life.

Now, up in Heaven, God must be, cause He gave this gift to me
When I made love last night – made love to an angel
When I made love last night – made love to an angel.
