In a dim lit bar on the west side of town
She's tryin' a little too hard to turn his poor head around
With a cigarette smoke halo and one broken wing
She stumbles into his hazy day dream
He's a little cocky and she's a little stocky
But all is forgiven in the night time somehow

C H O R U S:
It was a match made in heaven by an angel on high
From her soft proposition to his gin soaked reply
A gentle admission of loneliness and fright
A match made in heaven when two lonely hearts spend the night

She said I was an angel when I was a child
And it was all laughter and love for a while
You don't think of the future when you're gettin' it for free
Somehow I made God angry at me
Tonight as my heart is breakin' I pray I'll awaken
And there will be somebody somewhere for me

C H O R U S

And they cling to each other by lone candle flame
He calls her honey he don't remember her name
She acts like she's sleepin' as he slips away in the night

It was a match made in heaven they're going through hell
Lord have mercy on the angel who fell
Sometimes it ain't easy tellin' wrong from the right
A match made in heaven when two lonely hearts can get by

A match made in heaven when two lonely hearts can get by
