Week Of: 2008-02-24
Song: How Could An Angel Break My Heart
Artist: Toni Braxton
Album: Secrets

One of my favorite songs by Toni Braxton, she really shines on this one. While the track lacks Braxton's defining sound, it's still an incredible number. And though I love the version with Babyface, this version is still grade A material.
I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out I thought that I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me

[Chorus]
How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in may
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me

[Chorus]
How could an angel break my heart
Why didnt he catch my falling star
I wish I didnt wish so hard
Maybe I wish our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me

[Chorus]
How could an angel break my heart
Why didnt he catch my falling star
I wish I didnt wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
