Angel come on down from heaven yesterday Stayed with me just long enough to rescue me And she told me a story yesterday About the love between the moon And the deep blue sea Then she spread her wings high above me And she said she gonna come back tomorrow And I said Fly on by, sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on, my sweet angel Tomorrow I will be right by your side Sure enough, this woman came home to me Silver wings, silhouette against a child's own prize Oh, angel, she said unto me Today is the day for you to rise Take my hand, take my hand You're gonna rise And then, she took me high over yonder And I said Fly on by, sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on, my sweet angel Forever I will be right by your side
