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 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 she came home to me,
silver wing silloete against a child's sunrise.
And my angel she said onto me,
today is the day for you to rise,
take my hand your gonna be my man,
and you're gonna rise.
Then she took me high over yonder oh oh.
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.
