Angel came down from heaven yesterday Stayed with me long enough to rescue me And she told me a story yesterday About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea Then she spread her wings high over me She said she's goin' now, come back 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"
Fly away, high away, fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise And my angel she said unto me Today's the day for you to rise Take my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna rise Then she took me high over yonder
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side" And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side" Fly away, come back another day
