Angel Eyes
written by John Hiatt / Fred Koller

Girl, you’re looking fine tonight
And every fella’s 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 you can but look all you like
But this girl you see, she’s leaving 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?
