Angels Fly
Reamonn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She saw the world through her smile
She held your hand you knew it'd be all right
She spoke of places she'd never been
"Now is the time", she'd say, "to live the dream"

And she told us how she could fly
And she said "no need for goodbyes"
For we'd see her there in the skies
Where angels fly, angels fly

She stayed a while that summers day
Spoke through a smile of how she'd go away
I saw in her eyes, her pain
She took my hand and said "it'd be ok"

And now she's soaring up into the sky
And she takes us all in her flight
And she told us the reasons why
Angels fly, angels fly

Some summer days I can see the smile
And in so many ways she's still alive
And the love that she gave I keep down inside
I'm keeping it safe 'till I learn to fly

And she's soaring up into the sky
And she takes us all in her flight
And I feel she's still alive
Where angels fly, angels fly

And she told us how she could fly
And she said "no need for goodbyes"
For we'd see her there in the sky




Where angels fly, angels fly
Angels fly, my sweet angel flies.
