Angel Eyes
Bridgewater Dee Dee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My own heart ain't gainin' no ground
Because my Angel Eyes ain't here

Angel Eyes that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mis-spent

Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up, drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink, and the laugh's, on me

Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I gotta find who's now number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.

I gotta find who's now the number one

And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.
`Scuse me while I disappear.

Overall Meaning

The song Angel Eyes by Bridgewater Dee Dee depicts the raw emotions associated with a failed love affair. The lyrics convey the singer's desperate attempts to move on from the relationship, but his heart refuses to let go. The singer implores himself and listeners to pretend as if "love's not around," yet the unshakeable presence of his former lover lingers on. The titular "Angel Eyes" are described as a devilish sentry, a haunting reminder of what was lost. The chorus features the singer trying to drown his sorrows by offering to buy drinks for all the patrons at the bar.

He is visibly distraught and has a sense of urgency in trying to come to terms with why his Angel Eyes left him. As the song comes to a close, the singer realizes that he has to accept the truth and move on. The repetition of "I gotta find who's now number one / And why my Angel Eyes ain't here" emphasize his doubts and reflect on his sense of loss. The singer's attempt to escape from the reality of his situation is explicitly stated in the last line, "Scuse me while I disappear," which indicates that he wants to forget the painful memories of his past lover and move on.

Try to think that love´s not around
But 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 love´s mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact´s uncommonly clear
Got to find who´s now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Oh, where is my angel eyes
Excuse me while I disappear
Angel eyes, angel eyes
