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 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 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
