Yes, I mean how many time stevie sings the word angel. Plurals weren't going to count, but since many people counted them already, plurals DO count. Those that responded and didn't count plurals can resubmit that answer. I will give an example of what I mean with this question:

let's say stevie wrote a song called, "I Sing the Word Angel Many Many Times" and the lyrics were:

This is a song about drugged out Emerald Angel
She danced like a Blue Chimpanzee
So I approached
I asked her to write this for Me
My Sweet Angel, Angel, Angel.

The answer would be:
4- "emerald Angel" one time, "angel, angel, angel" one time

You can phrase the instances however you like (some have listed all the lyrics and underlined the word angel - (you are all very thorough). Some have just said: "angel of the morning"x4. Pretty much anyway is acceptable.

For the record: There are still a bunch of bonus points points to be had for answering early.
