Like an Angel
Discovering Love's Revelation: Like an Angel by Tommy Castro
Lyrics
When I was a young man
Reflecting on the speaker's past as a young man.
Not so long ago
Emphasizing that the speaker's youth was not too distant.
I though I knew everything
Expressing a sense of confidence and knowledge in the past.
I'd ever want to know
Believing that the speaker knew all he needed to know.
I didn't know what love was
Acknowledging a lack of understanding about love.
I didn't have a clue
Admitting ignorance or lack of insight into love.
I didn't know a thing about it
Stating the speaker's lack of knowledge about love.
Until the day that I met you
Highlighting a transformative moment upon meeting someone.
'Cause baby like an angel
Comparing the person to an angelic figure.
Sent to me from above
Suggesting a divine origin or special significance.
Just like an angel
Reiterating the angelic comparison.
You showed me how to love
Acknowledging that the person taught the speaker about love.
If anybody asked me
Claiming independence and self-sufficiency in the past.
I would always say
Expressing a consistent attitude of not needing help.
I never needed anybody's
Denying dependence on others for assistance.
Help in any way
Asserting self-sufficiency and independence.
Sometimes late at night
Referencing moments of solitude and contemplation.
When I was all alone
Recalling times of loneliness.
I wondered if I'd ever have
Questioning the possibility of finding a romantic partner.
Someone for my own
Expressing a desire for companionship.
But like an angel
Reiterating the comparison of the person to an angel.
Sent to me from above
Emphasizing the special nature of the person.
Just like an angel
Reaffirming the transformative impact on the speaker.
You showed me how to love
Acknowledging that the person taught the speaker about love.
Showed me how to love
Repeating the idea of learning how to love.
You must have seen right through me
Suggesting the person had insight into the speaker's true self.
Baby from the start
Asserting that the person understood the speaker from the beginning.
You know I kept my love hid
Admitting to hiding feelings of love deeply.
Deep inside my heart
Describing the secrecy of the speaker's emotions.
'Cause baby like an angel
Reiterating the angelic comparison.
Sent to me from above
Emphasizing the divine or special origin of the person.
Just like an angel baby
Repeating the idea of learning how to love from the person.
You showed me how to love
Concluding with gratitude for the lessons in love received.
