Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground
Willie Nelson & Family Lyrics

If you had not have fallen
If you had not experienced hardships and struggles in life,

Then I would not have found you
I would not have had the opportunity to meet and connect with you,

Angel flying too close to the ground
You were a fragile and vulnerable person in need of support and guidance,

And I patched up your broken wing and hung around a while
I helped mend your broken heart and stayed around to provide comfort,

Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down
I did my best to keep you positive and healthy,

I knew someday that you would fly away
I knew that eventually you would move on with your life,

For love's the greatest healer to be found
Love is the most effective healer of pain and sorrow,

So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Even if you have to leave, I will always cherish the memories we shared,

Fly on, fly on past, the speed of sound
Keep moving forward in life, at a pace that suits you best,

I'd rather see you up than see you down
I prefer to see you happy and successful,

So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Regardless of where life takes you, I will always remember the person you were,

Angel flying too close to the ground.
You were a gentle soul who needed love and support to elevate you in life.
