Angel of the Morning
[Verse 1]
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
[Chorus]
Just call me angel of the morning (Angel)
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Slowly, slowly turn away from me
(Just call me angel)
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe the sun's light will be dim
But it don't matter anyhow
If morning echoes says we've sinned
Then it was what I wanted now
[Pre-Chorus]
And if we're victims of the night
I promise you, I won't be blinded by the light
[Chorus]
Just call me angel (Just call me angel)
Touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, baby
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Slowly (Slowly, slowly)
Slowly turn away from me
From me
[Outro]
(Just call me angel of the morning)
(Morning, angel)
(Just call me angel of the morning, morning, angel)
(Morning, angel)
