I Saw An Angel Die - Bobbie Gentry

You

You

Came into my life

It was sunshine everywhere

You were outta sight

Just standin', shinin' there

Shinin' there

Shinin' there

All my days were bright

You took me to the sky

You showed me the light

You taught me how to fly to the clouds

Straight up to Heaven

Was it just a dream?

I couldn’t tell if you were really real

Was it just a dream?

A dream that I could see and touch and feel

All through the night

I held you close to me and loved you so

But with the light

You turned to me and said you had to go

Please don’t go

Please don’t go

Across the countryside

I chased an angel fleetin'

Until it dropped and sighed

Its angel wings still beatin'

It was you

It was you

Oh, I stood there and cried

And watched love fade away

I saw an angel die

My heart died too that day
