Angel Eyes

Girl, you're looking fine tonight
and every guy 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.
Never even got one second glance.
Across a crowded room was close enough
I could look but I could never touch.

CHORUS

Don't anyone wake me
if it's just a dream
'cause she's the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

All you fellows, you can look all you like
but this girl, you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight.

There's just one more thing that I have to know:
if this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be something only you can see
'cause girl I feel it when you look at me.

CHORUS
(Fade out)
