[Verse 1] 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 is going to come back tomorrow [Chorus] And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on my sweet angel Tomorrow I'm going to be by your side" [Verse 2] Sure enough this morning came unto me Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise And my angel she said unto me "Today is the day for you to rise Take my hand, you are going to be my man You are going to rise" And then she took me high over yonder [Chorus] 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" [Instrumental Outro]
