angel of the morning

there'll be no strings to bind your hands

not if my love can't bind your heart

and there's no need to take a stand

for it was i who chose to start

i see no need to take me home

i'm old enough to face the dawn

just touch my cheek before you leave me baby

then slowly turn away from me

maybe the sun's light will be dim

and it won't matter anyhow

if morning's echo says we ve sinned

well it was what i wanted now

and if we're the victims of the night

i won't be blinded by the light

just touch my cheek before you leave me baby

then slowly turn away

i won't beg you to stay

with me

through the tears

of the day

of the years

baby baby baby

just touch my cheek before you leave me baby

just touch my cheek before you leave me darlin
