Kiss An Angel Good Morning

The singer describes being cheerful when he meets old friends, who wonder why he seems so happy. He credits his happiness to a loving relationship and presents affection as an everyday habit. The mood is warm and playful: his advice is both romantic and lightly humorous.

Calling his partner an “angel” suggests that he sees her as especially wonderful, not that she is literally supernatural. “Kiss an angel good morning” gives a simple morning kiss symbolic importance: it is a way to show love before leaving. The phrase “love her like the devil” is a lively contrast, meaning to love her with great passion when he returns, rather than referring to anything sinister.

The song’s answer to happiness is deliberately simple: a man and a woman who love each other and show it through small acts of affection. The singer may be offering sincere advice, but the repeated refrain also makes the idea sound like a cheerful slogan. The lyrics focus on one person’s experience, so they suggest what brings this speaker happiness, rather than proving that romance is the only source of happiness for everyone.
