Written by Bobbie Gentry

You, you came into my life
It was sunshine everywhere
You were outa sight
Just standin’, shinin’ there
Shinin’ there, shinin’ there

All my days were bright
You took me to the sky
You showed me the light
You taught me how to fly
To the clouds, straight up to heaven

Was it just a dream
I couldn’t tell if you were really real
Was it just s dream
A dream I could see and touch and feel
All through the night
I held you close to me and loved you so
But with the light
You turned to me and said you had to go
Please don’t go, please don’t go

Across the countryside
I chased an angel fleeting
Until it dropped and sighed
It’s angel wings still beating
It was you, it was you

Why, I stood there and cried
And watched love fade away
I saw an angel die
My heart died, too, that day
