And The Angels Sing
Music by Ziggy Elman, with lyrics by Johnny Mercer
We meet, and the angels
sing
The angels sing
the sweetest song
I ever heard
You speak,
and the angels
sing
Or am I breathing music
into every word.
Suddenly, the setting
is strange
I can see water
and moonlight beaming
Silver waves that break
on some undiscovered shore . . .
Then suddenly
I see it all change
Long winter nights
with the candles gleaming
Through it all
your face that I adore.
You smile,
and the angels sing
And though it’s just
a gentle murmur
at the start
We kiss,
and the angels sing
and leave their music
ringing in my heart
We kiss,
and the angels sing
and leave their music
ringing in my heart.
