Bobbie Gentry I Saw An Angel Die Lyrics

I Saw An Angel Die Lyrics

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
