Angel of the Morning

AM Gold 1968

There'll be no strings to bind your handsNot if my love can't bind your heartAnd there's no need to take a standFor it was I who chose to startI see no reason to take me homeI'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning, AngelJust touch my cheek before you leave me, babyJust call me angel of the morning, AngelThen slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dimAnd it won't matter anyhowIf morning's echo says we've sinnedWell, it was what I wanted nowAnd if we're the victims of the nightI won't be blinded by light

Just call me angel of the morning, AngelJust touch my cheek before you leave me, babyJust call me angel of the morning, AngelThen slowly turn awayI won't beg you to stay with me, meThrough the tears of the dayOf the years, baby, baby

Just call me angel of the morning, AngelJust touch my cheek before you leave me, babyJust call me angel of the morning, AngelJust touch my cheek before you leave me
