Requiem for an Angel Lyrics

Wait for tomorrow, it'll be better than today
Wait for tomorrow, child, and let it be the words that I say
Well the sun's gonna shine, ain't gonna change my mind, no way!
When that new day comes, I know I won't be seeing no grey.
Well everybody's trying to make me change my mind
My friend's tell me I'm just wasting my time
Well I don't care cause I'm living blind or crazy.
I wouldn't lose my mind, but all I can find is trouble
Well, though the going gets rough, I just slide on by on the double
And though that highway calls, I fly through the sky like a bubble
Ah, when the new day comes I'll be feeling fine and traveling alone!
Well everybody's trying to make me change my mind
My friend's tell me I'm just wasting my time
Well I don't care 'cause I'm living blind or crazy.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
