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 sweet olve between the moon and the deep blue sea
  and then she spread her wings high over me
  she said she's going to come 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 mornin' came unto me
  silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
  and my angel she said unto me
  "today is the day for you to rise
  take my hand your goin' be my man, your goin' rise"
  and then she take me high over yonder
  
  and i said fly on my sweet angel
  fly on through the sky
  fly on my sweet angel
  forever i'm gonna be by your side
