I gave the lyrics in this song an “A” because it talks about how the angel of the morning can provide comfort for others‚ which is really interesting. I also gave the vocals in this song an “A” because the singer’s voice is really nice and she can sing both high and low pitches‚ which enhances the song to have different tones
