Fly home little nightingale
Fly home and rest
You gave your all
You gave all your best
You blazed with beauty like an autumn mountainside
You lost your leaves and ran out of time,
You ran out of time

You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there's one more angel in heaven tonight,
Angel in heaven tonight

I don't mourn for you
I grieve for us
'Cause you've gained everything
But you is what we've lost
The springtime's here and the flowers are in bloom
But it's a gray season 'cause we don't have you,
We don't have you

You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there's one more angel in heaven tonight,
Angel in heaven

Tonight, every moment is marked with your absence
And every tear that falls falls for your lingering presence
I feel like you'll walk through the door
I smell you on all of your clothes
I curse the day my memory lets you go

My angel, my angel, angel, my angel

You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there's one more angel in heaven tonight,
You left us dark down here but the sunset burns bright
You flew to Jesus up there
Now there's one more angel in heaven tonight,
Angel in heaven tonight

Fly home little nightingale, fly home and rest.
