Bless you, for being an angel
Just when it seemed that heaven was not for me
Bless you, for building a new dream
Just when my old dream crumbled so helplessly

In that vine covered chapel on the hill
Your face was a hymn that lingered still

So bless, you my darling, my angel,
Heaven is mine and life is divine with you.

(Orchestral interlude)

So bless, you my darling, my angel,
Heaven is mine and life is divine with you.
