she sees an angel   sittin' on top of her shoulder   watchin' as she slowly gets older   though she cannot explain      and he will wait there   tethered to the tip of her finger   her very own serenade singer   though he's singing in vain      vain   vain   vain      and when she's wounded   he will use his courage to restore her   he will even bear the hurt for her   he will suffer her pain      and with your wide eyes    eyes that see the world enchanted   she counts all her wishes to be granted   is she really so vain      vain   vain   vain      and if the chain breaks   and if he slips away while she's sleeping   will she say he was worth keeping   will she cry out in vain      vain   vain   vain   vain
