How Do you Speak to an Angel ?
Eddie Fisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
