This song is one of my favorite Willie Nelson songs. I had never heard it until I saw him open for Toby Keith back in 2004. As soon as I heard the line "If you had not have fallen..." I knew it was going to be a heartbreaking song. It's been covered by several artists such as Bob Dylan, Patty Griffin, Raul Malo, and many more.
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
Tried to keep your spirits up
While you were feelin' 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
Leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
