Toni Braxton

[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
How could an angel break my heart?
Mmm, mmm

[Verse 2]
I heard her face was white as rain
(Your face is white as rain)
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
(Soft as a rose in May)
He keeps her picture in a frame
(I keep your picture)
And when he sleeps
He calls her name
(I only call out your name)
I wonder if she makes him smile
(She doesn't make me smile)
The way he used to smile at me
(I only smile at you)
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
(She doesn't make me laugh)
Because his laugh belongs to me
(My laugh belongs to you)

[Chorus]
How could an angel break my heart?
(You are my heart)
Why didn't he catch my falling star?
(I'll catch your star)
I wish I didn't wish so hard
(Don't wish so hard)
Maybe I wish our love apart
(Love falls apart)
How could an angel break my heart?
(Your tender heart)
Whoa, oh
Yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, my soul is dying
It's crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help 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
How could an angel break my heart?
Mmm, mmm
How could an angel break my heart?
What
Oooh
