Sometimes you hear a song, and it sticks with you. This one has since it came out in 1996. Mindy McCready was a talented, beautiful woman who had a troubled life that ended much too young, and though she didn't write the song, she certainly needed angels.

Ten Thousand Angels

Speakin' of the devil
Look who just walked in
He knows just where to find me
Here we go again
I can tell he's gonna ask me to dance
But that's not as far as he wants to go
I need ten thousand angels
To help me tell him no

Lead me not into temptation
Heaven help me to be strong
I can fight all that I'm feelin'
But I can't do it alone
Help me break this spell that I'm under
Guide my feet and hold me tight
I need ten thousand angels watchin' over me tonight

It's time to face my weakness
Look him in the eye
Lord knows it won't be easy
But I've just gotta try
I can't let myself get lost in his arms
That's how I got my heart broke before
I need ten thousand angels to walk me out the door

Lead me not into temptation
Heaven help me to be strong
I can fight all that I'm feelin'
But I can't do it alone
Help me break this spell that I'm under
Guide my feet and hold me tight
I need ten thousand angels watchin' over me tonight

I need ten thousand angels watchin' over me tonight
Ten thousand angels, watchin' over me tonight
Ten thousand angels, watchin' over me tonight
Watchin' over me tonight
