Lyrics
If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
So fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to
I'll still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
So leave me if you need to
I'll still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
