I Saw An Angel Die Lyrics - Singles - Bobbie Gentry

You 

You 

Came into my life 

It was sunshine everywhere 

You were outta sight 

Just standing, shining there 

Shining there 

Shining 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 country side 

I chased an angel fleeting 

Until it dropped and sighed 

Its angel wings still beating 

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
