Angel come down from heaven yesterday
she stayed with me just long enough
for afternoon tea
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 her wings high over me
and she said i shall return tomorrow
and i said fly on my sweet angel
fly on through the skies
fly on me sweet angel
tomorrow i will feel you by my side
and sure enough
this morning comes to me
with silver wings silhouetted
against the glow of the child sunrise
and as the blue birds and the sparrows envy me
she says i love you little boy
today you shall fly
she kissed me once
and the feeling so good
she made me cry
and now we can fly together
i said fly on my sweet angel
fly on through the skies
fly on my sweet angel
together we shall always be light
