專屬天使 – Tank

作詞:施人誠
作曲:Tank
編曲:呂紹淳

我不會怪你 對我的偽裝 天使在人間是該藏好翅膀
人們愚蠢魯莽 而妳纖細善良 怎能讓妳為了我被碰傷

小小的手掌 厚厚的溫暖 妳總能平復我不安的夜晚
不敢想的夢想 透過妳的眼光 我才看見它原來在前方

沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁 妳是我的專屬天使 唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上 擁有一個專屬天使
我哪裡還需要別的願望

小小的手掌 大大的力量 我一定也會像妳一樣飛翔
妳想去的地方 就是我的方向 有我保護笑容儘管燦爛

沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁 妳是我的專屬天使 唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上 擁有一個專屬天使
我哪裡還需要別的願望

要不是妳出現 我一定還在沉睡 絕望的以為 生命只有黑夜

沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁 妳是我的專屬天使 唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上 擁有一個專屬天使
我哪裡還需要別的願望
