Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground

Grief is Never Easy But This Song Touched My Very Soul

I heard part of these lyrics being sung by another band on TV
Someone said, that sounds like Willie Nelson.
I was going through profound grief at the time, a few hours earlier I had been notified of a tragic death.
Angels were on my mind and I liked the lyrics and looked them up.
Sure enough Willie Nelson wrote this song, so I bought it.

Here are the lyrics:

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing and hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.
