Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground

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 
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! 
Willie Nelson
From the album and film Honeysuckle Rose
1980
