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 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 on to me Silvеr-winged, silhouetted against a child's sunrisе And my angel, she said unto me "Today is the day for you to rise Take my hand, you are gonna be my man, you are going to rise" And 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 Forever I will be by your side"
