We married young and people said that I was still too wild
But love accept no boundaries she soon grew heavy with my child
And she never seems to notice the little hurtin' things I do
If she did she let me make things right by saying I love you

There must be a thousand angels watchin' night and day
Just making sure that fools like me don't throw their lives away
That she's still here is proof enough for anyone to see
That heaven watches over fools like me

There were times when I noticed a certain sadness in her eyes
And other things like waking to hear her cryin' in the night
And I wonder just how many other heartaches I fail to see
Lookin' back I ask myself what made her stand by me

There must be a thousand angels watchin' night and day
Just making sure that fools like me don't throw their lives away
That she's still here is proof enough for anyone to see
That heaven watches over fools like me
That heaven watches over fools like me
