Angel Eyes

Earl Brent / Matt Dennis

Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfort'bly near
My old heart ain't gainin' no ground
Because my Angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
Misspent with Angel eyes tonight

So drink up, all you people
Order anythling you see
Have fun, you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me

Pardon me, but I've gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Gotta find who's now "number one"
And why my Angel eyes ain't here
