Chet Baker - Angel Eyes Lyrics

Chet Baker Lyrics

"Angel Eyes"
(originally by Matt Dennis)

Try to think that love's not around
But it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining 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 mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up, all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun, you happy people
The drink and the laughs' on me

Pardon me, but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Oh, where is my angel eyes?

Excuse me while I disappear
Angel eyes, angel eyes
