Angel came 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 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"
