I could have been an angel
looking over y’all,
I could have been a high-wire dancer
With no one to catch me if I fall,
I could have been a heavenly host
Telling the story of a ghost,
But I chose you.
I could have been a wizard
With a big book of spells,
I could have been a diva
Or a farmer in the dell,
I could have had a luxury car
Or been a maid working at a car,
But I chose you.
I could have been a doctor
To ease your belly ache,
I could have been a lady of the night
Hiding from the daybreak,
I could have been a Mademoiselle
Or a little girl at show and tell,
But I chose you.
In a dream I had last night
I was walking towards your
Shining light.
If I fall for you before I wake,
Then bless your soul this love
I’ll take it.
I could have been an eagle
Flying faster than a car,
I could have been a minister
Or maybe a movie star,
But I don’t want to be anything
If I can’t be where you are.
So, baby, I chose you.
I chose you
I chose you.
