Story Behind The Song
A friend who is very ill, broke down nearly in tears, one evening, in the car, on the way home and told me that he wanted to live. I said "I would be your angel, and fly down from the sky. I'll take you in my arms and teach you how to fly." Which sounds incredibly pompous now but, at the time, felt the right thing to say. Also, as he is French, he could only partially understand what I was saying! I wrote the lyrics straight away, after that evening and put it to Yonass' music which he had already called 'Brightness'.
Song Description
When I heard this angelic music from Yonass I knew that I wanted to create an angel who was cool, sitting on a cloud, scatting along to the music. This is a guardian angel who has come to help out someone who is going through a particularly difficult time, especially with illness. She asks - 'let me be your angel, let me bring some brightness into your life.'

Lyrics
In the darkness
Of the night
I see those tears you cry
And though you may not feel me
I'm right here by your side
No need to shoulder that burden
It's such a heavy load
It's not an easy path you lead
Along that lonesome road
I will be your angel
and fly down from the sky
I'll take you in my arms and
teach you how to fly
Can't you see that spark
Shining in the dark
if you let me help you
I will not break your heart
scat
(2 voices)
I will be your angel
and fly down from the sky
I'll take you in my arms and
teach you how to fly / bring brightness to your life
I
I will be
I will be your
I will be your angel
I'm gonna
I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly down from the sky and take you in my arms
Let me bring some brightness into your life
scat
Oh let me be that angel
I'm waiting
right here for you
I'll teach you everything you need
to live on this earth in peace and harmony
I'm yours
