If you’ve ever wondered what the secret is to keeping love alive, Charley Pride had a pretty simple answer — and he sang it to the world in 1971. “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’” wasn’t just a catchy country hit; it was a piece of timeless, heart-level advice wrapped in a melody you can’t help but hum.
The song is bright, cheerful, and impossible not to smile along with. Charley’s voice — warm, confident, and full of kindness — feels like it’s speaking straight to you, reminding you to start each day with love and to carry that feeling through everything you do. It’s the kind of wisdom you don’t need a long lecture for… just a kiss, a smile, and a heart that remembers why you fell in love in the first place.
More than fifty years later, people are still singing it, not just because it’s fun, but because it’s true. Love doesn’t always need grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s about the little rituals — the morning kiss, the gentle words, the everyday moments — that hold a life together.

Lyrics
When ever I chance to meet, old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
Always got a smiling face, anytime and any place
And every time they ask me why I just smile and say
‘Cause you’ve got to kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when you’re gone
Kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil when you get back home
Though people may try to guess, the secret of our happiness
But some of them never learn it’s a simple thing
The secret I’ma speaking of, is a woman and a man in love
And the answer is in this song that I always sing
‘Cause you’ve got to kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when you’re gone
Kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil when you get back home
Kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when you’re gone
Kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil when you get back home
