[Lyric] Too Many Angels Live (Jackson Browne)

[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

[Chorus]
Too many angels
Have seen me crying
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
[Chorus]
Too many angels
Have seen me crying
Too many angels
Have heard you lying

[Post-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

[Chorus]
Too many angels
Have seen me crying
Too many angels

[Post-Chorus]
Voices sing of day
Through the flood of tears
Your sweet face appears
And there's no end in sight
Only the dead of night
And too many angels
