I wrote this when I first moved to L.A. and met a lot of really neat folks.

"Los Angeles"
Did you know you were an angel?
Yeah, it kind of surprised me too,
It's not like I see wings or halos or anything,
(Although if I did, I'd say yours was slipping!).

So, how do I know you're an angel?

Sometimes simply by the smile on your face,
making me smile too.
Or the passion in your voice as you speak of work,
so I think packing widgets is the greatest job ever!

Maybe it's the humanity you bring to your roles
so I must love the character and the actor
which you have made one.

Perhaps it's the melody from your voice, your piano or your violin,
which you send far beyond the range of my words.

So, you're an Angel!
Your grace and charm more divine and true
than any wings or halos.
And, I'm thinking...
Because I see the Angel in you,
Maybe, just maybe...
I'm an angel too.
