ANGEL OF THE MORNING
Merrilee Rush & The Turnabouts
Words And Music by Chip Taylor

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'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 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 --

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
