About The Song
In the realm of country music, there are songs that touch the heart with their simple melodies and heartfelt lyrics, and then there are songs that transcend the genre, becoming anthems that resonate with listeners across generations. “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” by Alan Jackson is one such timeless classic.
Released in 1973 by the legendary Charley Pride, “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” quickly ascended to the top of the country charts, capturing the hearts of listeners with its tender message of love and devotion. The song’s popularity endured, and in 1999, Alan Jackson, a country music icon in his own right, decided to pay homage to Pride by recording his own rendition of this beloved ballad.
Jackson’s version of “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” stayed true to the essence of the original, while infusing it with his own signature style and warmth. His vocals, imbued with a touch of raspy tenderness, perfectly conveyed the song’s message of cherishing every moment with a loved one.
The lyrics of “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” are a simple yet profound ode to the power of love. The opening lines, “Whenever I chance to meet some old friends on the street / They wonder how does a man get to be this way / I always got a smiling face any time and any place / And everytime they ask me why I just smile and say”, paint a picture of a man whose happiness radiates from within.
The chorus, “You’ve got to kiss an angel good mornin’ / And let her know you think about her when you’re gone / So kiss an angel good mornin’ / And love her like the devil when you get back home”, is a poignant reminder to cherish the love we have in our lives and express our affection with every opportunity.
“Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” is more than just a song; it’s a reminder to slow down, appreciate the simple things in life, and express our love to those who matter most. It’s a song that has stood the test of time, continuing to touch hearts and inspire generations with its timeless message of love and devotion.
