Angel came down from heaven yesterday 
stayed with me long enough to rescue me 
And 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 
she said she's goin' [bad word] 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" 

Fly away, high away, fly away 

Sure enough this morning came unto me 
silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise 
And my angel she said unto me 
Today's the day for you to rise 
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna 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 forever I will be by your side" 
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" 
Fly [bad word] back another day
