Lyrics Wish I Had An Angel:
[Intro]
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight

[Verse 1]
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me, fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before

[Pre-Chorus]
Old loves, they die hard
Old lies, they die harder

[Chorus]
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

[Bridge]
I'm going down so frail and cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules

[Pre-Chorus]
Old loves, they die hard
Old lies, they die harder

[Chorus]
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Greatest thrill, not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite, wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch, my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts

[Chorus]
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

[Outro]
I wish I had an angel...
I wish I had an angel...
I wish I had an angel...
I wish I had an angel...

Tarja was unique, mystic, phonemenal and unmatched on stage. Even her glances, costumes leaves an impression on you. Her aura is something you can’t even describe. Such a shame Nightwish has lost her.

[Berengerefr]

Bye Marko, thanks for all. This song is my favorite duet of you ❤️

[fardeenDragonSlayer]

April 2025, Tarja was something else for the Band.

[sherylrodas]

ver a Tarja en vivo me pone la piel de gallina, es como ver una ninfa 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[winner_by_life]

This Masterpiece can be rewatched endlessly!

[SuperFan.Videos]

Tarja, Marco, and Nightwish, we thank you and wish you only the best in your current endeavors. You are all amazing. Finland, thank you.

[landerlarz]

"this night will hurt you like never before" what words for THAT night

[pepeteperez]

Nothing is better than the old Nightwish.

[juditszilagyi]

Réz így van.A régi nightwis, a règi felállás volt a legjobb.

[gorseletimoloji]

I love Marco and Tarja's chemistry, love it when they interact on the stage.

[ОлегРостов-вй]

This is Nightwish's golden time. It will never happen again. Ever. Let's cherish it. 2025, who's still here with me?

[ricardoalbuquerque]

Tuomas's look at the end, as if he was saying "My God, what have we done?" is absolutely PRICELESS! Rock on 🤘!

[xyrs]

i love how she's harmonizing in the back ground walking aroudn with her hand up while marco was singing lol. i also love how she basically has a different outfit for each song and how the mics are color co-ordinated lol. and her outfits are absolute bangers as well.. all of them.

Meu Pai faleceu dia 11/11/2022 em uma acidente na estrada, ele era carreteiro e gostava muito de Rock e Heavy Metal e principalmente do Marko Hietala!

Eu influenciei muito ele a apreciar Heavy Metal e Nightwish..Ele curtia muito as musicas em que o Marko Hietala cantava no Nightwish, a favorita dele era essa mesmo, " Wish I Had an Angel".

Sou fã do Marko desde que conheci o Nightwish em 2003, e fico feliz por meu Pai ter conhecido e apreciado a voz desse magnifico cantor em diversas músicas.

Hoje é dia 25/12/2022, é Natal. Estou aqui ouvindo esse som e lembrando do meu pai. Sinto falta da Tarja, Jukka e principalmente do Marko na banda, e agora mais que tudo, sinto a falta de ver esse Show fantástico ao lado do meu Pai..

Deixarei aqui esse registro em homenagem ao meu velho, que onde que que esteja, aposto que sempre vai estar ouvindo essa música e um bom e velho Heavy Metal!

1:14 can't stop watching Tarja making that chorus while dancing. She sings like an angel 🖤🖤🖤

[BambiD]

Pains to to say we will not see them performing together. This was the best combo.

[Johycita]

Solo Tarja y Marko pueden cantar esta canción a la perfección, fue hecha para sus voces 🔥🔥🔥

[Oliveandcheese]

NW with Tarja and Marco is everything. Precious memories.

[nicoleestein]

Tarja is so angelical 😍 I really miss her on Nightwish

[zantes]

With the origins of Symphonic Metal, I would argue that if Nightwish had one of their other lead singers other than Tarja, they would not have been as successful. In my opinion, it is Tarja's voice that was the primary aspect that let them stand out.

I'm not saying Floor or Anette were bad singers or bad for Nightwish. They are both great. Nightwish just wouldn't have been as big without Tarja (and Marco).
