Oh how I wish I was back in Georgia
Maybe I want, to be back in time
I’ve got a sweet lot of memories, of another place
And a heart full of longing, for another life
Angel, I want to see you
Angel, I want to see you
Angel, I really want to see you
Angel, I want to see you, right now
Oh how I wish, I could see an angel
Deliver me from, this dark dispair
I’ve got a sweet lot of plans that have come to nothing
And a life that’s in need, of a good repair
Angel, I want to see you
Angel, I really want to see you
You know I want to see you
Angel, I really want to see you, right now
Under a sky, of gun metal grey
No omens in sight for all around
Just living alone, with a hope that someday
I might see and angel arise, to take me down
Angel, I want to see you
Angel, Lord I want to see you
Angel, I really want to see you
Angel, Oh I want to see you, right now

The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Angel" means the words set to the music of Angel, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Fleetwood Mac. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
