ANGEL OF THE MORNING <br />

Merrilee Rush & The Turnabouts<br />

Words And Music by Chip Taylor<br />

<br />

There'll be no strings to bind your hands, <br />

Not if my love can't bind your heart. <br />

And there's no need to take a stand, <br />

For it was I who chose to start. <br />

I see no reason to take me home, <br />

I'm old enough to face the dawn. <br />

<br />

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel <br />

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby. <br />

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel <br />

Then slowly turn away... from me. <br />

<br />

Maybe the sun's light will be dim <br />

And it won't matter anyhow. <br />

If morning's echo says we've sinned, <br />

Well, it was what I wanted now. <br />

And if we're the victims of the night, <br />

I won't be blinded by light. <br />

<br />

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel <br />

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby. <br />

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel <br />

Then slowly turn away... <br />

I won't beg you to stay... with me... <br />

Through the tears... of the day.... <br />

Of the years... baby, baby -- <br />

<br />

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel <br />

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.<br />

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel <br />

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby....
