Lyrics

Angel

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
And then she said she's gonna come back tomorrow
And I said

Fly, oh my sweet angel
Fly all through the sky
Fly, oh my sweet angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side

Sure enough, this morning came to me
Silver wings, silhouette, against the child's sunrise
And my angel said unto me
Today's the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man
You're gonna rise
And then she took me high over yonder
And I said

Fly, oh my sweet angel
Fly all through the sky
Fly, oh my sweet angel
Forever I will be by your side
