I Once Had an Angel

I once had an angel she had silvery wings,
Now the memory of her, it burns and it stings.
We both lived in heaven, till she crashed to the ground,
And I d rather not mention that devil she found&

Now her wings have turned scarlet
From the shame of her life,
I once had an angel,
I once had a wife.

I try to forget her as I look in my glass
But whiskey reflections of her will not pass.
I once had an angel and the chance won t come twice;
To hell with salvation. I lost paradise.
