George Shearing & Michael Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
For every little fault that you have
Say I've got three or four
The human little faults you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
