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...
