Angel came down from heaven yesterday He stayed with me just long enough To rescue me And he told me a story yesterday About the sweet love between the moon And the deep blue sea Then he spread his wings high over me He said he'd go now Come back tomorrow 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 he came on to me Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise And my angel He said unto me Today is the day for you to rise Take my hand, I'm gonna be your man You're gonna rise And then he takes me high over yonder Fly on, my sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on, my sweet angel Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side Fly on, my sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on, my sweet angel Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side Fly on, my sweet angel Fly on, fly on, through the sky Fly on, my sweet angel Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side
