Angel Eyes

Hey drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun, you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
I try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart it ain't gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, the old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
And need I say that my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight
Go ahead and drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
Have lots of fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
Pardon me but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I got to find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes she ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear
