Angel Standing By

Angel closed the door to the office as quietly as possible. As soon as he turned around he noticed that someone was sleeping at the desk with their head down on the desk top. As he neared the sleeping figure he saw that it was Cordelia and she had fallen asleep doing research for their latest case. He smiled endearingly at her sleeping body and stopped a moment to admire how beautiful she was.

All through the night I'll be watching over you All through the night I'll be standing over you

He lifted her into his strong arms and carried her step by step down to his apartment. He soundlessly walked through his living room towards his bedroom. He placed her down on the bed and left the room for a minute to find a warm blanket for her.

And through bad dreams I'll be right there, baby, holding your hand, telling you everything is all right

He returned with a down comforter. He straightened it out and carefully placed it over her slim body. It landed on her and as the air came out it clung to the curves of her body. His gaze lingered on her a while longer before he leaned over and turned the lamp off. He kissed her smooth forehead and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

And when you cry I'll be right there, baby, Telling you, you were never nothing less than beautiful So don't you worry I'm your Angel standing by.
