Real McCoystarted in the Summer of 1989, when Reinhard Piel, A&R Manager of the german based label ZYX Records, called the little production company "Freshline Records" belonging to O'Jay, a musician and former photographer (he had already been part of a trio project called Masterplan, then took part to The Admirers and released the tracks Action! and Come Into My Life). Before this time they had already worked on a couple of other products with ZYX. This time they were looking for a cover "rap" version of the song Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic. A real artist at that time was not so important for ZYX, what they wanted was a quick production, something they could release ASAP. O-jay wrote and recorded his rap within 2 days.

Sleeping With An Angel Lyrics

Real Mccoy

I've been around, been in the lost and found.
Then i found myself a new love.
Thought it was just one more night on the town.
Then i realized i realized...

Chorus:
I'm sleeping with an angel. she makes me feel so good.
Sleeping with an angel. i didn't know i could.
But i've done too many wrongs, sung too many songs,
To be sleeping with an angel, sleeping with an angel.

I've been in love, and i've seen it all fall apart.
I hurt so bad, and i hurt somebody real bad.
I didn't think i could ever feel love again.

Chorus

And in your eyes i see the light
Of a million candles burning bright,
And in your eyes i see the light
Of a million candles burning bright.
My mother and my father were divorced, my father remarried,
My mother died alone..and so angry.
Sometimes i feel shell-shocked like i've been through a war.
