Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
If you had not a-fallen, then I would not have found youAngel flying too close to the groundAnd I patched up your broken wingAnd hung around a whileTrying to keep your spirits upAnd your fever downI knew someday that you would fly awayFor love’s the greatest healer to be foundSo leave me if you need to, I will still rememberAngel flying too close to the groundFly on, fly on past the speed of soundI’d rather see you up than see you downSo leave me if you need to, I will still rememberAngel flying too close to the groundLeave me if you need to, I will still rememberAngel flying too close to the ground
