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 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're gonna be my man
You're gonna rise
And then she took me
High over yonder, 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
