"Angel" lyrics

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
She said she is gonna 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"

Sure enough, this morning came on to me
Silver-winged, silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And my angel, she said unto me
"Today is the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you are gonna be my man, you are gonna rise"
And 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"
