Angel On My Shoulder (Singer: Shelby Flint)
Got an angel on my shoulder
Got a penny in my pocket
And I found a four-leaf clover
And I put it in my locket
Wished on all the stars above me
And I caught the nearest rainbow
Gonna find someone to love me
Gonna find someone to love
Well I tossed a lot of nickels in a wishing well
And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell
I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed
But a warm and tender love is all I need
And I want a love that lingers
And is stronger through and through
So I'm gonna cross my fingers
That I find a boy to love me true
Well I tossed a lot of nickels in a wishing well
And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell
I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed
But a warm and tender love is all I need
And I want a love that lingers
And is stronger through and through
So I'm gonna cross my fingers
That I find a boy to love me true
And I'm gonna love him too

I used to sing it all the time. it was on for awhile, then it went away. l finally tracked it down by Google with some of the lyrics l remembered... and ...I FOUND IT!!!!!!! Thank you for posting Selby's song!
Hi deana diedrich. Glad you love this song. It's simple but beautiful. Shelby Flint recorded an album of folk songs that's quite nice. Take care.
This song is a part of mine and my brother's past. So beautiful and endearing. God bless all who had a part in this song!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I have the same story! I was five or six years old and loved the song. Tried finding it in my older years and found it by remembering "got a penny in my pocket."
This song deserves to be covered again.
There are some songs that just cannot be covered for various reasons. This is one of those.
I found it. Woke up remembering this song in my head. So I searched it. Takes me far away from my world of today and from the music of today. So innocent. Thanks.
I sing this to my grandchildren
Helps them to relax into a peaceful sleep and hopefully sweet dreams.
A favorite song since I was a little girl. An amazing voice. Sweet and simple.
Beautiful
A beautiful song by a young lady with a beautiful voice.
I remember hearing this song on the car radio when I was about 8. My mom would sing to it. Such a sweet song.
Beautiful voice.
lovely song, very comforting. reminds me of a song my grandma would sing to me
Yes, a beautiful song, Just came across her after listening to this song and a few others, namely, Angel on my shoulder, which was a hit for her, and was also sang by the group Cascades. What a wonderful sweet voice, so dreamy that it carries you to another place of tranquility. Thanks for posting.
She has such a beautiful voice. My favorite singer all-time.
