[Verse 1]
Why am I standing on a cloud
Every time you're around
And my sadness disappears
Every time you are near

[Pre-Chorus]
You must be an angel
I can see it in your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
Now I realize

[Chorus]
You're an angel
You're an angel
You're an angel, disguise
I can see it in your eyes

[Verse 2]
Walking down a crowded avenue
Other faces seem like nothing next to you
And I can't hear the traffic rushing by
Just the pounding of my heart and that's why

[Pre-Chorus]
You must be an angel
I can see it in your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
Now I realize

[Chorus]
You're an angel
You're an angel
You're an angel, disguise
I can see it in your eyes
You're an angel
You must be an angel
You're an angel

[Verse 3]
Now I believe that dreams come true
'Cause you came when I wished for you
This just can't be coincidence
The only way that this makes sense is that

[Chorus]
You're an angel
You're an angel
You're an angel, disguise
I can see it in your eyes
Angel
You must be an angel
Angel, (angel)
Angel, baby

[Instrumental Break]

Drop Nineteens were a Boston-based shoegaze band active from 1991 to 1995.

The band was formed by former classmates Greg Ackell (vocals, guitar) and Chris Roof (drums), who recruited Paula Kelley (vocals, guitar), Steve Zimmerman (bass), and Motohiro Yasue (guitar).

Because of artistic differences, several member changes occurred between the first and second full-length releases. Kelley, Roof and Yasue went on to pursue other interests, and Megan Gilbert (vocals, guitar), Pete Koeplin (drums, now drummer for the band Kahoots) and Justin Crosby (guitar) were added to the lineup in 1993.
