Cliff Richard: Only Angel

I dedicate this wonderful song to all the Cliff Richard Fans on YouTube. It's high time Cliff performed it on concert stage as well.:-)
LYRICS:
A man's supposed to be a mountain
With the rivers runnin' to the sea
But ever since I lost my baby
I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to be

No need to try and hide this empty feelin'
It's hard to smile when I'm so sad
God's got so many angels up in heaven
Why'd he take the only angel
The only angel I've ever had
I ever had

Now I know you don't hear me darlin'
Still I want to take this time to say
How much I truly loved you
And how sorry I am, sorry I am you went away

No need to try and hide it
Yeah, I'm broken hearted and sad
'Cause God's got so many angels up in heaven
Why'd he take the only angel
The only angel I've ever had
I ever had

I just can't hide this empty feelin'
When everybody knows that I'm sad
God's got so many angels up in heaven
Why'd he take the only angel
The only angel I've ever had
(The only angel) I ever had

(He took the only angel) I ever had
(The only angel) I've ever had
(He took the only angel) I ever had
The only angel
(The only angel) I've ever had, oh, oh.

wow cliffenigma...thanks for all that information...that was very kind of you to do all that digging. I think its so hard for me to listen to because we have lost 2 children in our family...that is 2 out of 3 my brother had. I know this is more about another adult, but it still hits home pretty hard

[cliffenigma]

Dear Elainemarten, Let me express my deepst sympathy for the loss of 2 children in your family.

Please, listen to Butterfly Kisses performed also by Cliff Richard.

[elainemarten]

[cliffenigma]

It was my pleasure.

Yes, it is very sad - but has a great melody and a great voice :-)

Beautiful song, beautifully sung by Cliff. So sad. He must sing it live, right!!!

[99Uschi]

Thanks Rita. Since I heard this song on The Album I wished that Cliff would sing it live at one concert.

[elainemarten]

thats sweet of you cliffenigma, thank you for your kind words..the most recent one was about 4-5 years ago from a vehicle accident, the baby died almost 30 years ago, now.from spinal meningitis. I know Butterfly Kisses, well. Used to listen to it by the original singer..I am glad Cliff has recorded it as well.

[elainemarten]

again this is so beautiful but its so sad, it breaks my heart...I can't listen to it...
