Lyrics
Angel Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Girl, you're looking fine tonight
And every Fella HAS got you in his sights
What you're doing with a clown like me
Is surely one of life's little mysteries
CHORUS:
So tonight I'll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?
Well I'm the guy who never learned to dance
I never even got one second glance
Across the crowded room, that was close enough
I could look, but I could never touch
CHORUS
Don't anybody wake me if this is a dream
'Cause she is the best thing that's ever happened to me
All you fellas yeh! you can look all you like
But this girl you see, she's leaving HERE with me tonight
And there's just one more thing I need to know
If this is love then why does it scare me so
Must be something only you can see
But girl, I feel it when you look at me
CHORUS
What did I do, what did I say?
To turn your angel eyes my way.
