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 coming back, coming 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      And sure enough, this morning came unto me   Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise   And my angel, she said unto me   Today is the day for you to rise   Take my hand, take my hand and 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   (repeat)
