Angel came down from heaven yesterday 
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue he 
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 [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" 

Sure enough this morning came unto me 
Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise 
And my angel she said unto 
"today is the day for you to rise, 
take my hand, you're gonna be my man, 
you're gonna rise" 
And she took 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"
