Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you had not've fallen

I would not have found you

Angel flying too close to the ground

[Verse 2]

I patched up your broken wings

And I hung around a while

Tryin' to keep your spirits up

And your fever down

[Verse 3]

I knew someday that you would fly away

For love is the greatest healer to be found

So leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flying too close to the ground

[Verse 4]

Fly on, fly on, past the speed of sound

And I'd rather see you up than see you down

So leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flying too close to the ground

[Outro]

So leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flying too close to the ground

Happy birthday, Dad
