So my heart did a back flip I guess that’s what they’d say I hadn't seen her since high school graduation I brought my old hopes She brought her fiance And we shared some inane conversation Just as beautiful, oh just as charming But lord, what is this third dimension She has the dignity of a life not for me Plans that I needed a wrench in So I guess it goes to show Something a young man ought to know Angels are just people too In my dark ages When I was the earth And my universe spun out around They lined the firmament These angels of mine So pretty, and so far from the ground Just as beautiful, oh just as charming But lord, what is this third dimension She has the dignity of a life not for me Plans that I needed a wrench in So I guess it goes to show Something a young man ought to know Angels are just people too And oh, when I smashed out the pedestal What a pleasant surprise Here the all were, half of the world Only holy through my teenage eyes Just as beautiful, oh just as charming But lord, what is this new dimension Inconceivable that a girl could be more Than a foil for my romantic pretensions So I guess it goes to show Something a young man ought to know Angels are just people too Yeah now I finally know what I should have long ago Thank god, they're just people, too
