Lyric:

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 reason to take me home I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby

Just call me angel of the morning angel

Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim and it won't matter anyhow

If morning echo says we've sinned well it was what I wanted now

And if we're victims of the night I won't be blinded by the light

Just call me angel of the morning angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby

Just call me angel of the morning angel

Then slowly turn away

I won't beg you to stay with me

Through the tears of the days of the years

Baby baby just call me angel of the morning angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby

Just call me angel of the morning angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
