Bobbie Gentry
I Saw An Angel Die (Demo)
[Verse 1]
You
You
Came into my life
It was sunshine everywhere
You were outta sight
Just standin', shinin' there
Shinin' there
Shinin' there
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Across the countryside
I chased an angel fleetin'
Until it dropped and sighed
Its angel wings still beatin'
It was you
It was you
[Verse 5]
Oh, I stood there and cried
And watched love fade away
I saw an angel die
My heart died too that day
