Angel

Elkie Brooks


Angel came down from heaven yesterday
He stayed with me just long enough
To rescue me

And he told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon
And the deep blue sea

Then he spread his wings high over me
He said he'd go now
Come back tomorrow

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 he came on to me
Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise

And my angel
He said unto me
Today is the day for you to rise

Take my hand, I'm gonna be your man
You're gonna rise
And then he takes me high over yonder

Fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side

Fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side

Fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on, fly on, through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side
