《Angel of the Morning》是Juice Newton演唱的一首歌曲,收在1981年2月1日發行的專輯《Juice》中。

這首歌由紐約詞曲者Chip Taylor譜寫創作,最初他想邀Connie Francis演唱,但Connie認為此曲風格不適合自己而拒絕了合作邀請。此後,在1968年Merrilee Rush錄製了這一單曲,並得到巨大反響。但最受歡迎的版本出自Juice Newton,錄製於1981年並收入其《Juice》專輯,並打入Billboard Hot 100榜單,排名第四。

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 need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dark
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, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with 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 we were victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning angel, 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
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
