Stayed with me long enough to rescue me
 And she told me a story yesterday
 About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
 Then she spread her wings high over me
 She said she?s goin' now, 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"

 Fly away, high away, fly away

 Sure enough this morning came unto me
 Silver wings silhouetted against a child?s sunrise
 And my angel she said unto me
 Today?s the day for you to rise
 Take my hand, you?re gonna be my man, you?re gonna rise
 Then she took me high over yonder

 And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
 Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"
 And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
 Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"
 Fly away, come back another day
