I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

tonight

...

...

Wish I Had An Angel

Nightwish

...

...

Deep into a dying day

I took a step outside an innocent heart

Prepare to hate me fall when I may

This night will hurt you like never before

...

Old loves they die hard

Old lies they die harder

...

I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I`m in love with my lust

Burning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight

...

I`m going down so frail and cruel

Drunken disguise changes all the rules

...

Old loves they die hard

Old lies they die harder

...

I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I`m in love with my lust

Burning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight

...

Greatest thrill

Not to kill

But to have the prize of the night

Hypocrite

Wannabe friend

13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!

...

Last dance' first kiss

Your touch' my bliss

Beauty always comes with dark thoughts

...

I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I`m in love with my lust

Burning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight

...

I wish I had an angel

I wish I had an angel

I wish I had an angel

I wish I had an angel

...
