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 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? I heard her face was white as rain Soft as a rose that blooms in May He keeps her picture in a frame And when he sleeps, he calls her name I wonder if she makes him smile The way he used to smile at me I hope she doesn't make him laugh Because his laugh belongs to me How could an angel break my heart? Why didn't he catch my falling star? I wished I didn't wish so hard Maybe I wished our love apart How could an angel break my heart? Oh, heart Oh, yeah Oh, my soul is dying, it's crying I'm trying to understand Please, help me 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? Oh, heart, oh-oh
