Lyrics

Try to think that love's not around
Yet it's uncomfortably near
My own 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 mis-spent
Mis-spent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything that you see
Have fun you lucky people
The drinks, and the laughs are on me
Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I've got to find who's now my number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
'scuse me while I disappear
Written by: Earl K. Brent, Matt Dennis
