Lyrics by johnny mercer.
Both versions go to this weird break with riffs from hava nagila and can can.
It's not a bad song, but a whole lot of 1 6 2 5. The bridge is long & 5m 1 for all except the last line.

Intro
[CM7] [Dm7] [CM7]
[Am7] [Am+7] [Dm7] [CM7]
[CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13]
[Am7] [G7+5] [CM7]
Verse
[CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13] [CM7] [Am7] [Dm7]
We meet, and the angels sing.
[G13] [Dm7] [G13] [CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13]
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard.
[CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13] [CM7] [Am7] [Dm7]
You speak, and the angels sing.
[G13] [Dm7] [G13] [G7+5] [CM7] [Am7] [FM7] [G] [CM7]
Or am I reading music into every word?
Bridge
[Gm7] [C7]
Suddenly, the setting is strange.
[Gm7] [C7]
I can see water and moonlight beaming.
[Gm7] [C7]
Silver waves that break on some
[Gm7] [C7]
undiscovered shore then
[Gm7] [C7]
Suddenly, I see it all change.
[Gm7] [C7]
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming.
[FM7] [G13] [G7+5] [CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13]
Through it all your face that I adore.
Verse
[CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13] [CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13]
You smile, and the angels sing.
[Dm7] [G13] [CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13]
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start.
[CM7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G13] [Em7-5] [Bb7] [A7]
We kiss, and the angels sing.
[Dm7] [Fm7-5] [CM7]
And leave their music ringing in my heart!
