Angels By My Side

I left that day like times before I said goodbye as I walked out the door But I didn't kiss you goodbye Thought I'd be home again that night I took for granted all the things you do All the little things that make you you Every move and every sigh The things I'd miss if I'd have died But I had angels by my side Watching over me that night People who stepped up To save a life Yes, I had angels by my side To buy me extra time We need more angels out there By everybody's side The world was shown the photographs Of the very moment I collapsed But what they never saw Behind the curtain that was drawn Was the people doing their damn best Pushing hard upon my chest They were keeping me alive Making sure I survived Yes, I had angels by my side Watching over me that night Using their two hands To save a life Yes, I had angels by my side Working hard to save my life We need more angels out there By everybody's side But it was not my time to go that night I was in the right place at the right time I'm grateful every day I open my eyes When I woke up and you were there I could tell I'd given you a scare You said I'd had a heart attack And I was lucky to come back 'Cause 'round the world, too few survive Too many hearts are gone before their time On our recorded sustain But it's something we can change We need more angels by our side Walking with us all the time We need more people using their hands To save a life We need more angels by our side More right places at the right time We need more angels out there By everybody's side
