Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

Borrowed Angel

Her fingers feel so gentle with her hand in mine

Her hair feels like silk on my arm

Her lips tell me so tenderly she's mine alone

Until we part tonight and she goes home.

Barrowed angels, belong to someone else

I love my borrowed angel, I just can't help myself

That ring upon her finger don't belong to me

But she loves me and I know she'll save

Some borrowed time for me.

I wish that I could have her more than just tonight

We can't go on like this, it isn't right

When that lonesome feelin' comes a-knockin' on my door

I'll call my borrowed angel to ease the pain once more.

Barrowed angels, belong to someone else

I love my borrowed angel, I just can't help myself

That ring upon her finger don't belong to me

But she loves me and I know she'll save

Some borrowed time for me
