[English]

Whoa, there you go, don't even see a halo

Don't need no wings, you're already flying without anything

Oh, I don't know (I don't know, I don't know) how I ever lived before

I heard your love must be from above

So bring me my piece of Heaven

And tell me, "Don't worry, everything's alright"

As long as you're mine

Whoa, I'm reminded by your smile

When I feel down at night, out of my mind

I remember I got you in my life

When I wanna cry, yeah, that's when I

I remember I got you

So whatever this is

That's my kind of bliss

I wish I could always feel like this

Baby, you're my proof that angels exist

Straight from the stars (from the stars, from the star)

Here to heal my broken heart

And take away all of the dark and all of the pain (all the pain, all the pain)

When I fall apart (fall apart, fall apart)

Don't have to wonder where you are

This kind of love must be from above

So bring me my piece of Heaven

And tell me, "Don't worry, everything's alright"

As long as you're mine

Whoa, I'm reminded by your smile

When I feel down at night, out of my mind

I remember I got you in my life

When I wanna cry, yeah, that's when I

I remember I got you

So whatever this is

That's my kind of bliss

I wish I could always feel like this

Baby, you're my proof that angels exist

Whoa, when I feel down at night, out of my mind

I remember I got you in my life

Yeah, I wanna cry, well, that's when I

I remember I got you

Whatever this is (ooh)

That's my kind of bliss

Wish I could always feel like this

Baby, you're my proof that angels exist

Uh, oh, baby, you're my proof that angels exist

Ooh, baby, you're my proof that angels exist

Key Grammar Structures

• Don't need no wings, you're already flying without anything

  ➔ Double Negative

  ➔ The phrase "don't need no" is a colloquial double negative, common in some dialects. While grammatically incorrect in standard English, it emphasizes the idea that the person doesn't need anything to 'fly' – they are already capable. The use of 'no' after 'don't' creates a stronger affirmation.

• I don't know (I don't know, I don't know) how I ever lived before

  ➔ Repetition for Emphasis

  ➔ The repetition of "I don't know" emphasizes the speaker's feeling of being completely lost and unable to imagine life without the person they are addressing. It conveys a sense of profound change and dependence.

• Baby, you're my proof that angels exist

  ➔ Noun Clause as Complement

  ➔ The phrase "that angels exist" is a noun clause functioning as the complement of the adjective "proof". It explains *what* the person is proof of – the existence of angels. It's a common structure to express belief or confirmation.

• When I fall apart (fall apart, fall apart)

  ➔ Phrasal Verb + Repetition

  ➔ "Fall apart" is a phrasal verb meaning to become emotionally or mentally unstable. The repetition emphasizes the intensity and frequency of these moments of vulnerability.
