Jimi Hendrix - Angel(Acoustic)

Listen to Rare Acoustic Guitar by Hendrix

Angel Lyric


Angel came down from heaven yesterday,
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, I'll come back again to see you tomorrow
And I said fly on, my sweet angel. Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel. Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side
Sure enough,This woman came home to 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, you're gonna be my mind, And she took me high over yonder
And I said fly on, my sweet angel. Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel. Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side

Song Note : "Hendrix got the idea for this from a dream where his mother came down from heaven to take him with her."

"Hendrix started working on this in 1967 along with "Little Wing," which was a similar song. He gave up on it, but pulled it out and recorded it on July 23, 1970 - just a few months before his death on September 18, 1970."
