Angel Eyes Lyrics

[Verse]
Have you ever had the feeling
That the worlds gone and left you behind?
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to losing your mind?
You look around each corner
Hoping that she's there
You try to play it cool, perhaps
Pretend that you don't care
But it doesn't do a bit of good
You got to seek 'til you find
Or you'll never unwind
Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My old heart, ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say, that my loves misspent?
Misspent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink, and the laughs on me
Pardon me, but I've got to run
The facts uncomfortably clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here
Asking why my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me, while I disappear
