How Do You Speak to an Angel
Dean Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do you speak to an angel
I'm completely in the dark
When you know that you've just met an angel
Is there a proper remark
We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud
We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud




Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud

Line by Line Meaning

How do you speak to an angel
I'm unsure how to communicate with someone so pure and perfect


I'm completely in the dark
I have no idea what to say or how to act around this angelic being


When you know that you've just met an angel
It's clear that this person is special and must be treated accordingly


Is there a proper remark
I wonder if there's a specific thing I should say to an angel


We were alone for a moment
There was a brief period of time where it was just me and the angel


Why was I lost in a cloud
I was so overwhelmed by the presence of the angel that I couldn't think straight


Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Perhaps speaking softly is the appropriate way to converse with such a delicate being


Or do you just say I love you out loud
Or maybe expressing your love and admiration directly is the best approach
