Lyrics by Earl Brent
Music by Matt Dennis
Recorded by Nat King Cole (1953)
[Am] [Bb9] [Am] [F7]
Try to think that love's not around,
[Am] [Dm] [Dm7] [E7]
Still it's uncomfortably near
[Am] [D9] [Am] [Bb9]
My old heart ain't gainin' no ground
[Am] [Bb9] [E7] [Am]
Because my angel eyes ain't here.
[Am] [Bb9] [Am] [F7]
Angel eyes, the old Devil sent,
[Am] [Dm] [Dm7] [E7]
They glow unbearably bright
[Am] [D9] [Am] [Bb9]
Need I say that my love's misspent,
[Am] [Bb9] [E7] [Am]
Misspent with angel eyes tonight?
[F] [G7] [CM7] [Am]
So drink up, all of you people,
[F] [G7] [CM7] [Am]
Order anything you see;
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [D]
Have fun, you happy people
[Am] [Am]+7 [Bb9] [E7]
The drink and the laugh's on me.
[Am] [Bb9] [Am] [F7]
Pardon me, but I gotta run
[Am] [Dm] [Dm7] [F7] [E7]
The fact's uncommonly clear.
[Am] [D9] [Am] [Bb9]
Gotta find who's now the number one
[Am] [Bb9] [E7] [Am]
And why my angel eyes ain't here.
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [D]
Have fun, you happy people
[Am] [Am]+7 [Bb9] [E7]
The drink and the laugh's on me.
[Am] [Bb9] [Am] [F7]
Pardon me, but I gotta run
[Am] [Dm] [Dm7] [F7] [E7]
The fact's uncommonly clear
[Am] [D9] [Am] [Bb9]
gotta find who's now the number one
[Am] [Bb9] [E7] [Am]
And why my angel eyes ain't here
[Dm] [Dm7] [Bb9] [E7] [Am]
Excuse me while I disappear...
