Angel came down from heaven yesterday    She stayed with me just long enough to rescue he    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 came unto me    Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise    And my angel she said unto    "today is the day for you to rise,    take my hand, you're gonna be my man,    you're gonna rise"    And she took 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"
