Borrowed Angel - George Jones

Her fingers feel so gentle with her hand in mine

Her hair feels like silk on my arm

Her lips tell me so tenderly she’s mine alone

Until we part tonight and she goes home

Borrowed angel, belongs to someone else

I love my borrowed angel, I just can’t help myself

That ring upon her finger don’t belong to me

But she loves me and I know she’ll save

Some borrowed time for me

I wish that I could have her more than just tonight

We can’t go on like this, it isn’t right

When that lonesome feelin' comes a-knockin' on my door

I’ll call my borrowed angel to ease the pain once more

Borrowed angel, belongs to someone else

I love my borrowed angel, I just can’t help myself

That ring upon her finger don’t belong to me

But she loves me and I know she’ll save

Some borrowed time for me

But she loves me and I know she’ll save

Some borrowed time for me
