There'll be no strings to bind your hands

not if my love can't bind your heart

And there's no need to take a stand

for it was I who chose to start

I see no reason to take me home,

I'm old enough to face the dawn



CHORUS:

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Then slowly turn away from me



Maybe the sun's light will be dim

So it won't matter anyhow

If morning's echo says we've sinned,

Well, it was what I wanted now

And if we're the victims of the night,

I won't be blinded by the light



Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Then slowly turn away

I won't beg you to stay with me



Through the tears of the day,

Of the years, baby baby baby



Just call me angel of the morning, angel

just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
