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 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 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 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 day, of the years Baby, baby, baby Just call me angel of the morning, (angel) --- Angel of the Morning - Nina Simone
