LYRICS

Look at me
I have fallen so in love with you
Please don't leave
Stay around
Let me tell you all
The things I feel
Won't you please

Let me be your angel
Let me be the one for you
Let me be your angel
Let me be the one you believe in

You might think
I am much too young
To understand
Don't be fooled
Like a child
I look into your eyes
And know someday
I'll make you mine

Let me be your angel
Let me be the one for you
Let me be your angel
Let me be the one you believe in

Let me be your angel
Let me be the one for you
Let me be your angel
Let me be the one you believe in
Yeah, oh
