I just needed someone to hold
  When the bottle was empty
  and the nights grew cold
    In my hour of darkness
  In my time of need
  You were my angel of mercy
  And helped me to believe
    You touched my soul
  When I was lonely
  You held me up
  when I couldn't fly
    There's no words could explain
  How I feel inside
  And this I tell you
    In a world full of anger
  and times gone strange
  You held me close
  You held me close to you
    Lay my head on your shoulder
  I finally let it all out
  It felt good for a moment
  Not living in a shadow of doubt
    But everybody needs a little something
  Tu pull them through
  I gave one for the other
  And God know that the other was you
    Chorus:
  Now only time will tell
  Only time will tell
  If our love is scratched in sand
  Or if it's etched in stone
  Only time will tell
  Only time will tell
  If our love will stand
  Or walk the road along
    My angel of mercy
  Pulled me through somehow
  I just hope you know
  I need you now
    Solo
    You're the one
  That touched my very soul
  The one who held on tight
  God knows you never let go
    Angel of mercy
  It's time we closed the door
  Put out the lights
  And burn the fire
  Burn the fire inside
    Angel of mercy
  You pulled me through
  And this I tell to you
  God know I'd tell it to you
