Send "Angel" Ringtone to Cell

I've got an angel
She doesn't wear any wings
She wears a heart that could melt my own
She wears a smile that could make me want to sing
She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home

She can make angels
I've seen it with my own eyes
You got to be careful when you you've got good love
'Cause them angels will just keep on multiplying

You're so busy changing the world
Just one smile can change all of mine
We share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh
We share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh
We share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Mm mm mm mm

    General Comment:I love this song.....I would listen to it over and over after my grand-daughter was born. I know this song is about his wife and kids but I would like to learn this on the ukulele, change a few words and sing this to my beautiful grand-daughter

    General Comment:But you�re so busy changing the world
    Just one smile and you can change all of mine
    We share the same soul

    I think this part plays off of the idea that when we smile at someone or do something nice, it starts an unending chain of people that do the same thing you did to them, hence changing the world. That also goes in with sharing the same soul.

    General Comment:When I heard this song live last night (he's on his 2010 to the sea tour) it was so beautiful but he told us that it was about his baby girl<3 I wish I recorded it. It made my heart melt.

    General Comment:I went to his concert earlier this year and he told us that this song came about when one of his sons asked the birds and the bees questions. He explained it using a theory of multiplying and this is how the song came about. It was the funniest story wish I could remember it exactly.

    General Comment:Ok I love this song, I was wondering what the part where he says "You gotta be careful when you got good love
    Cause the angels will just keep on multiplying" means? Is it really about his children or something else?

    General Comment:I just heard this live on 4-19 and 4-20-08 in Hawaii.
    He dedicated this song to his wife and at the end he went straight into Better Together. It was such a great show. He also played Pirate looks at 40 with Dave Matthews...It was a dream come true.

    Angel is one of or prob the best love song Jack has written. I love his simple sound to such a deep song.
