Eagle Over Angel

I'm sure you don't remember me
Its been a while I know
You put this tattoo my arm
A long long time ago
The last time I was in your shop
She was sitting by my side
The girl that I called Angel
But her love for me has died

So put an eagle over angel
Put a teardrop in his eye
And I'll just look the other way
And try hard not to cry
Put an eagle over angel
Spread his wings so he can fly
To a place where hearts aren't broken
And no one says goodbye

You put her sweet name on my arm
With a tiny heart below
But it lasted longer than her love
Now she's gone for good I know
For years I wore my Angel's name
Always happy to explain
But when they ask about her now
I just can't stand the pain

So put an eagle over angel
Put a teardrop in his eye
And I'll just look the other way
And try hard not to cry
Put an eagle over angel
Spread his wings so he can fly
To a place where hearts aren't broken
And no one says goodbye
