Verse 1 Midnight on the boulevard, the brass is low and sweet Streetlamps hum a lullaby to every wandering feet A silver whisper cuts the dark, a hush across the sky Stop your busy two‑step, sugar — watch an angel glide on by Pre‑Chorus Hold your coffee, pause your worry, let the city slow its spin If you listen, just a heartbeat, heaven’s tapping on the skin Chorus When an angel flies over, stop a minute, think it through Give a nod to that soft passerby — welcome that simple view There’s a kindness in the rafters, there’s a mercy in the light When an angel flies over, tip your hat and hold the night Verse 2 They come in ordinary coats, with pockets full of grace Maybe she’s the waitress smiling, maybe he’s the neighbor’s face Chances are you’re winged yourself, disguised in everyday So be the quiet miracle that keeps the shadows at bay Pre‑Chorus Slow your laugh, slow your hurry — let the moment grow and bend A nod can be a gospel, a hello can be a friend Chorus When an angel flies over, stop a minute, think it through Say “Welcome, friend,” with two soft words — let heaven pass on through There’s an echo in the alleys, there’s a warmth in every hand When an angel flies over, be the angel where you stand Bridge (scat) Do‑wah, do‑bee, swing that soft refrain La‑la, la‑love, wash away the rain Snap your fingers, baby, make the world align Be the bell that rings, be the ribbon on the line Breakdown Not all wings glimmer — some are worn and plain But even tattered feathers know how to ease the pain Chorus (lifted) When an angel flies over, stop a minute, take it in Smile like you mean it, let the little kindnesses begin If the sky is passing mercy, be the harbor, be the plan When an angel flies over, lend your hand — be an angel to a man Outro So tip your hat to heaven, and keep your pockets kind There are many angels walking — one might be you, tonight When an angel flies over, don’t just let the moment slide Give a nod, give your love — let the small lights multiply
