There'll be no strings to bind your hands
If my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
It was I who chose to part
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dark alone

Call me angel of the morning
Touch my cheek before you leave me
Call me angel of the morning
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
It won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
It was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light

Call me angel of the morning
Touch my cheek before you leave me
Call me angel of the morning
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me

And if we're victims of the night
We won't be blinded by the light

Call me angel of the morning
Touch my cheek before you leave
Call me angel of the morning
Touch me before you leave
You call me angel of the morning
Touch my cheek before you leave me
Call me angel of the morning
Touch me before you leave
Then slowly turn away
I won't ask you to stay with me
Slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay
