Angel Lyrics

Performed by Jimi Hendrix



Angel came down
From heaven yesterday,
She Stayed with me just long enough
To rescue me....

And she told me a story yesterday;
About the sweet love
Between the moon and the deep blue sea.

Then she spread her wings high over me.
She said,she coming back come back tomorrow....

And I said fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Tomorrow Im gonna be by your side....

Sure enough,
This woman came unto me.
Silver wings silhouetted against a childs sunrise....

And my angel,
She said unto me,
today is the day for you to rise.
Take my hand, youre gonna be my man you're gonna rise
And then she took me high over yonder.....

And I said fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Forever Im gonna be by your side....

Angel - who was song written for | Reviewer: Robin | 8/8/11

I met Jimi Hendrix when i was 10 years old not long after the 1967 Eurovision song contest won by Sandie Shaw with Puppet on a string. It was at a servive station near Birmingham. He had not been in UK long. I was with my 17yr old art student sister, Sophie. We had hitched to London to stay with friends and family, and also stayed with friends in Henley. It was a lift from friend in Henley that took us to the motorway service station (one of the first in the UK) where we waited to decide how to hitch North to Edinburgh (having never been in a service station before , and where used to hitching from road side).

Jimi's bus drove up and out he popped larger than life, very colourful and charismatic. He immediately started talking to my sister and then called me over, mistakening me for my sister's boyfriend (Yuk). He chatted for about 20 minutes, gave my sister some service station sandwiches and said he would write a song about her for her. To me that song is Angel.

Many thanks Robin
