Angel (take 7)

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough for afternoon tea
And she told me a story yesterday
About the love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And when it was time for her to go
She spread her wings high over me
And she said "I shall return tomorrow"

And I said "fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side"

And sure enough this morning comes to me
When silver wings silhouetted against the glow of the child's sunrise
And as the bluebirds and the sparrows envy me
She says "I love you little boy
And today you shall fly"
She kissed me once
And the feelings so good she made me cry
And now, we can fly together

And I said "fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel
Forever I'll be by your side
