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 love between the moon and the deep blue sea And when it was time for her to go, she spread her wings high over me And she said "I shall return 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" And sure enough this morning comes to me When silver wings silhouetted against the glow of the child's sunrise And as the bluebirds and the sparrows envy me, she says "I love you little boy and today you shall fly" She kissed me once and the feelings so good she made me cry And now, we can fly together And I said "fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky, fly on my sweet angel, together we shall always be high"
