Lyrics
Cliff Paris
Angel Of Flight Copyright 2005
By Cliff Paris
I had a running start
Although the grass was wet
I had a vision
When we made the bet
I heard violins
When I took a breath
You said you?d catch me
As I reached the edge
I turned my head and saw your daisy smile
I believed I could Fly
The earth is so soft with you
On the surface
You gave me courage
My angel of Flight
I raised my arms
Closed my eyes
I felt the wind
Take me so High
I heard footsteps
I heard Doors slam
I felt all mothers
Think of their sons and gasp
I lowered my head and saw your daisy smile
I believed I could Fly
The earth is so soft with you
On the surface
You gave me courage
My angel of Flight
When I hit the earth
With such impact
I couldn?t breathe
Couldn?t react
You said you?d save me
And when I looked around
I was in a parachute
Held by the whole town
I turned my head and saw your daisy smile
I knew I could Fly
The earth is so soft with you
On the surface
You gave me courage
My angel of Flight
