Verse 1
I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me
Chorus
How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn’t he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn’t wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
Verse 2
How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn’t he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn’t wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
I thought that you were feeling the same
But then you let your feelings change
How was I to know that you had doubts?
Silly me, I guess that I just didn’t figure out
Chorus
How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn’t he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn’t wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
Bridge
All of my dreams
All of my plans
I’m standing here
Staring at love’s closed door
All of my life
I’ve waited for
The day when love would come along
Chorus
How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn’t he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn’t wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
