1.    Angel come down from heaven yesterday,

G                                 C                               D

    she stayed with me just long enough for afternoon tea.

D                 A           Em

    And she tell me a story yesterday,

G                                                C                 D                     - C

    about the love between the moon & the deep blue sea.

            G                                     Bb                              D    

 And when it was time for her to go, she spread her wings high over me,

                  Em      F#m                  G

    and she said, "I shall return tomorrow." And I said...

 

      C                        Dm      Fm                        C

    "Fly on, my sweet angel, fly on through the sky,

     C                       Dm          Fm                        Bb             C

    fly on, my sweet angel, tomorrow I'll look for you by my side."

    D                     A               Em

2.     And sure enough this morning comes to me,  

G                                       C                                             D

    while silver wings silhouette against the glow of the child's sunrise.

D                      A                               Em

    And as the blue birds and the sparrows envy me,

G                                             C                      D                  - C

    she says, "I love you, little boy, and today you shall fly."

            G                        - Bb                                D    

    She kissed me once,        and the feeling so good, she made me cry.

            Em              F#m  G        - G7

    And now we can fly together.           And I said ...

 

      C                         Dm     Fm                        C

    "Fly on, my sweet angel, fly on through the sky,

     C                      Dm         Fm                    Bb              C

    fly on my sweet angel, together we shall always be alive."
