Angel Eyes
Yearning in Melody: Unveiling the Sentiment Behind 'Angel Eyes' by Barney Kessel
Lyrics
Try to think that love's not around
Contemplating the absence of love
But it´s uncomfortably near
Love is uncomfortably close
My old heart ain't gaining no ground
The speaker's heart is not finding stability
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Expressing longing because the person with "angel eyes" is not present
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
"Angel eyes" are described as tempting or alluring
They glow unbearably bright
The attractiveness of "angel eyes" is intense
Need I say that my love´s mispent
Admitting that the speaker's love has been wrongly directed towards "angel eyes"
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
Regret for spending time with "angel eyes" tonight
So drink up all you people
Encouraging others to enjoy themselves
Order anything you see
Inviting people to order anything they want
Have fun you happy people
Wishing happiness for others
The laughs and the jokes on me
Realizing that the jokes and laughter are at the speaker's expense
Pardon me but I got to run
Expressing the need to leave
The fact's uncommonly clear
The reality is evident and needs no further explanation
Got to find who's now number one
Determined to find who has become the most important person
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Questioning why "angel eyes" is not present
Oh, where is my angel eyes
Repeating the desire for the presence of "angel eyes"
Excuse me while I disappear
Apologizing for leaving abruptly
Angel eyes, angel eyes.
Repeating the term "angel eyes" to emphasize the longing or absence
