Angel came down from heaven yesterday   She stayed with me just long enough for afternoon tea   And she told me a story yesterday,   about the love between the moon and the deep blue sea   And when it was time for her to go,   she spread her wings high over me   And she said "I shall return 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 comes to me   When silver wings silhouetted against the glow of the child's sunrise   And as the bluebirds and the sparrows envy me,   she says "I love you little boy   and today you shall fly"   She kissed me once   and the feelings so good she made me cry   And now, we can fly together      And I said "fly on my sweet angel,   fly on through the sky,   fly on my sweet angel,   together we shall always be high"
