A cheerful, mid-tempo love song from Planet Waves, recorded with The Band.
The words
A man is so smitten with a woman that he can think of nothing else and calls her an angel.
The singer simply celebrates the woman he loves, describing how completely she has captivated him. It is a light, happy song with no darker turn, built on a bright refrain that addresses her directly. The tone is playful and easygoing compared with the heavier songs elsewhere on the album. The Band give it a bouncy, rolling arrangement, with organ and guitar keeping it buoyant.
