Angel came down from Heaven yesterday Stayed down here just long enough to rescue me Then she told me a story yesterday About the sweet love between the moon And the deep blue sea Then she spread her wings high over me Said she is going now, come back tomorrow And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on, my sweet angel 'Cause tomorrow I will be by your side" ♪ Sure enough this morning came unto me Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise Then my angel, she said unto me "Today is gonna be the day for you to rise Take my hand, you're gonna be my man You're going to rise" Then she took me high over yonder And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel Fly on, through the sky Fly on my sweet angel 'Cause tomorrow I will be by your side" Fly on, my sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on, my sweet angel 'Cause tomorrow I will be by your side
