Roderick David Stewart (born 10 January 1945 in Highgate, London) is an English-born singer and songwriter of Scottish descent, most known for his uniquely raspy, gravelly, hoarse-sounding voice and personable singing style, as exemplified in his signature song "Maggie May". In a career now entering its fifth decade, Stewart has achieved 27 top 10 hit singles worldwide. Although the quality of his recordings has varied at times, he is widely recognized as among the best interpretive singers of recent times, and has consistently been a presence on the charts since the early 1970s.

Angel Lyrics

Rod Stewart

(j. hendrix)
Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said shes goin now, come back tomorrow
And I said, fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel tomorrow Im gonna be by your side
Fly away, high away, fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against a childs sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
Todays the day for you to rise
Take my hand, youre gonna be my man, youre gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder
And I said, fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side
And I said, fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side
Fly away, come back another day
