Angel Eyes
Yearning Shadows: Unveiling the Absence of Angel Eyes
Lyrics
Try to think that love's not around
Trying to convince oneself that love is absent.
Still it's uncomfortably near
Despite efforts, love feels uncomfortably close.
My own heart ain't gainin' no ground
The speaker's heart is not progressing or improving.
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Expressing sorrow because the speaker's beloved ("angel eyes") is not present.
Angel eyes that old devil sent
Describing the captivating and tempting nature of the "angel eyes."
They glow unbearably bright
Highlighting the intense and dazzling brightness of the angel eyes.
Need I say that my love's mis-spent
Acknowledging that the speaker's love has been spent unwisely on the angel eyes.
Mis-spent with angel eyes tonight
Reiterating that the speaker's love has been misused with the angel eyes.
So drink up, drink up all you people
Encouraging others to enjoy themselves by drinking.
And order anything you see
Inviting people to order whatever they desire.
Have fun you happy people
Wishing happiness for everyone present.
The drink, and the laugh's, on me
Offering to cover the expenses for drinks and laughter.
Pardon me, but I gotta run
Apologizing and explaining the need to leave.
The fact's uncommonly clear
Asserting that the situation is clear and undeniable.
I gotta find who's now number one
Determined to discover who has become the new focus of attention.
And why my angel eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the absence of the beloved "angel eyes" and expressing the desire to understand why.
I gotta find who's now the number one
Repeating the determination to find out who is now the number one in the speaker's life.
And why my angel eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the longing to understand why the angel eyes are not present.
'Scuse me while I disappear.
Politely excusing oneself while expressing the intention to disappear.
