"Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground" lyrics

"Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground"
(originally by Willie Nelson)

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground

And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around for a while
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found

So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up, than to see you down

So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
