Angel Of The Morning
Percy Faith · Other Songs - Percy Faith
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
Percy Faith's 'Angel Of The Morning' stands as a quintessential example of the smooth, romantic ballad style that defined his mid-20th-century discography. Recorded in the classic big band format, the track features Faith's signature vocal delivery, characterized by a warm, baritone tone that perfectly complements the lush orchestral arrangements typical of his era. As a staple of the romantic music genre, the song has been widely covered and remains a recognizable piece of American pop history, often associated with themes of morning devotion and gentle affection. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic simplicity and the polished production that made it a favorite for radio play and film soundtracks throughout the decades.
