  • Transcription is exactly "Chorus:</br>
    There’s too many angels in Heaven</br>
    The angels said what can we do</br>
    The Lord said send them back to their loved ones</br>
    Pick a number up to 32</br>
    </br>
    So they send them back 32 angels</br>
    To those who are feeling so blue</br>
    Now there’s 32 angels among us</br>
    And are now living with you</br>
    </br>
    Chorus</br>
    </br>
    God don’t need any more angels</br>
    Up where the skies are so blue</br>
    He wants them to live among us</br>
    In this land he made for you</br>
    </br>
    Chorus</br>
    </br>
    It's hard to understand this message</br>
    With a heart so broken in two</br>
    Why’d he pick these 32 angels</br>
    The reason is God loves you</br>
    </br>
    Chorus</br>
    </br>
    So be happy, be strong, be faithful</br>
    And help someone as God helped you</br>
    Cause someday he may pick a number</br>
    And the number may be you</br>
    </br>
    There’s too many angels in Heaven</br>
    The angels said what can we do"
