She's got a warm heart,
she's got a soft tongue
She gives a coffee cup to
a drunken old bum
And he doesn't have
to thank her
Because she knows that he's
feeling alone
She puts her hand out where
no church bells ring
She doesn't say too much
till she gets up to sing
To the penniless losers on the sidewalk
s with the faces of stone
She moans tender mercies to
a world running wild
She's got the face of an angel
She's got the soul of a child
And
I'm stuck in the cold
She'll wait for a while
And she's captured my heart with
her sweet summer smile
She tells the twilight of all
her days blessed
She greets the sunrise in her
cool cotton dress
And she'll never be judging when she stands
in her own parachute
And
I'm a stranger,
she's earned my trust
Singin' songs about heaven and
Jesus
She works hard all day long
Just to keep from singin' the blues
She moans tender mercies to a
world runnin' white
She's got the face of an angel
She's got the soul of a child
And
I'm stuck in the cold
She'll wait for a while
She's captured my heart
with her sweet summer smile.
And
I'd always thought heaven was someplace so far away,
till I found some salvation in
love of another today.
Mmm, today.
All right.
She cries for the lonesome
to the stars up above
She takes all my hate and
brings me back love
And she lives with a passion like nobody
I've ever known
In a lost crowd, she'll find a friend
Singin' out loud,
and her day doesn't end
Until she's helped some lost drifter
To find the way to his home
She moans tender mercies to
a world runnin' wild
She's got the face of an angel
She's got the soul of a child
And
I'm stuck in the cold
She'll wait for a while
She's captured my heart
With her sweet summer smile
Yeah, she's got a hold of my heart
With her sweet summer smile
you
