Too Many Angels by Marc Cohn Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's an angel on a ribbon
Hanging from the armoire door
There's a Cupid with his feet crossed
On the bird cage by the door
There's a baby angel drummer
His eyes are open wide
And two more tiny cherubs
On the mantle side by side
Too many angels
Have seen me crying
It's too many angels
Have heard you lying

[Verse 2]
There are photographs of children
All in their silver frames
On the window sills and tabletops
Lit by candle flamеs
And upon their angel faces
Lifе's expectations climb
Where the moment has preserved them
From the ravages of time
Too many angels
Have seen me crying (Mmm hmm)
Too many angels
Have heard you lying
[Chorus]
Bring the morning on
I want to step out in the morning sun
I want this darkness gone
These apparitions coming one by one
But there's no end in sight
Only the dead of night
And too many angels

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Bring the morning on
Voices sing of day
Let me step out in the morning sun
Through the flood of tears
I want this darkness gone
Your sweet face appears
These apparitions coming one by one
But there's no end in sight
Only the dead of night
And too many angels (Yeah)

[Outro]
Mmm, too many, too many angels
This darkness gone
Only want this darkness gone
Too many angels
Bring the morning
Bring the morning on
