Angel come on down from heaven yesterday

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

Then she spread her wings high above me

And she said she gonna come back tomorrow



And I said

Fly on by, sweet angel

Fly on through the sky

Fly on, my sweet angel

Tomorrow I will be right by your side



Sure enough, this woman came home to me

Silver wings, silhouette against a child's own prize

Oh, angel, she said unto me

Today is the day for you to rise

Take my hand, take my hand

You're gonna rise

And then, she took me high over yonder



And I said

Fly on by, sweet angel

Fly on through the sky

Fly on, my sweet angel

Forever I will be right by your side



Ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh

I, uh-huh, I, uh-huh

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

I, I, uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
