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's going to come back tomorrow |
|
An' 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 silhouette against a child's sunrise |
|
And my angel, she said unto me |
|
"Today is the day for you to rise |
|
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man |
|
You're gonna rise" |
|
And then she took me high over yonder, Lord |
|
An' I said fly on, my sweet angel |
|
Fly on through the sky |
|
Fly on, my sweet angel |
|
Forever I will be by your side |
