You're an Angel, and I'm Gonna Cry Lyrics

What do you see that's so beautiful
It always reflects in your eyes
The world casts no shadows across your sweet face
You're an angel and I'm gonna cry

When I used to see you I'd smile
Just a pretty girl up on a sign
Then I'd thank god for mine now she's leaving
And I need an angel to keep me from crying

You're an angel and I'm gonna cry
'cause I can't have you and I'm not gonna try


But I'm wasting this dream with my troubles
Let me rest in your arms for a while
Say you love me 'cause when I wake up dear
You'll just be an angel and I'm gonna cry
Say you love me 'cause when I wake up dear
You'll just be an angel and I'm gonna cry

Chris Thile is a renowned mandolin player and a founding member of the progressive bluegrass trio Nickel Creek with Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins.

Thile began recording his first solo album in 1993, with most songs of his own composition. After two more solo albums of all original material, he teamed with mandolin master Mike Marshall for a stunning album of duets called Into the Cauldron, which included forays into jazz, world music, and Bach. In 2004 Chris released Deceiver, a departure from his earlier work which contained a variety of pop/rock/folk influenced vocal numbers. In September 2006, he released a new album entitled How to Grow a Woman from the Ground, which consisted of an extensive bluegrass band, and more traditional tracks than his previous album.

In addition, an announcement was made on the website of Nickel Creek that Thile and his band-mates would be taking an extended hiatus from the band at the end of 2007. He is currently touring with the How to Grow a Band, consisting of members Greg Garrison on bass, Noam Pikelny on banjo, Gabe Witcher on fiddle, and Bryan Sutton on guitar. With the exception of Bryan Sutton, this is the same group of musicians that appear on How to Grow a Woman from the Ground; Chris Eldridge is the guitarist on the album. In 2007 at Carnegie Hall the original quintet from How to Grow a Woman From the Ground performed many songs off of the album and debuted a four movement suite entitled "The Blind Leaving the Blind" under the name of Tensions Mountain Boys. The band changed their name to the Punch Brothers. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
