Angel

An 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 spreads her wings high over me

And said "I'm goin' to come back tomorrow."

And I said "Fly on my sweet angel."

"Fly on to the sky."

"Fly on my sweet angel."

"Tomorrow I'll be there by your side."

Sure enough this morning came unto me.

A silver wing silhouette against the child sunrise.

And my angel she said unto me, "Boy today is the day for you to rise."

"Take my hand you're gonna be my man

And you're gonna rise."

And she took me right over yonder.

And I said "Fly on my sweet angel."

"Fly on to the sky."

"Fly on my sweet angel."

"Tomorrow I'll be there by your side."

"Yeah, tomorrow I'll be there by your side."
