(Ben Peters)

She's still the angel that I knew before
The only difference now is she's mine
In an apron or a nightgown or the wedding dress she wore
She's a perfect angel all the time.

You know it's funny how when you first meet a girl
And start likin' her, you always see her at her best
All made up, her hair just right, dressed nicely
And you just assume she's like that 24 hours a day.

Then when you get married it's face-cream
And bobby-pins and hair-rollers at night
Makeup, eyelashes, hairspray in the mornin'
Soapsuds, floorwax and bacon grease through the day.

And then you stop and think about it
And she's really goin' through all the stuff just for you
And knowin' that makes her all the more beautiful.

She's still the angel that I knew before
The only difference now is she's mine
In an apron or a nightgown or the wedding dress she wore
She's a perfect angel all the time...
