Angel Eyes
Healey Jeff Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every guy has got you in his sight
What you're doing with a clown like me
Is surely one of life's little mysteries
So tonight I'll ask the stars above
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
To turn your angel eyes my way?
Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance
Never even got one second glance
Across a crowded room was close enough
I could look but I could never touch
So tonight I'll ask, the stars above
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?
Don't anyone wake me
If it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing
Ever happened to me
All you fellows
You can look all you like
But this girl you see
She's leavin' here with me tonight
There's just one more thing I need to know
If this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be somethin' only you can see
'Cause girl I feel it when you look at me
So tonight I'll ask the stars above
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, aw
The Healey Jeff Band's "Angel Eyes" is a romantic ballad that describes the singer's amazement and gratitude that he has won the affection of a beautiful woman. The song is a celebration of love and highlights the fact that it is often hard to understand why two people are meant to be together.
The song opens with the singer admiring the beauty of the woman and acknowledging that every man in the room is captivated by her. However, he wonders what she sees in him, describing himself as a "clown." The chorus conveys the singer's confusion and awe, as he asks how he could have possibly won her love and what he did to turn her "angel eyes" towards him.
The second verse continues to describe the singer's feelings of inadequacy, revealing that he has never learned to dance and has never been noticed by a woman before. However, the chorus reaffirms that he has found love with this beautiful woman, and he is grateful for their connection.
The final verse reveals the singer's fear that he may lose this love and acknowledges that love is complex and sometimes hard to comprehend. However, he knows that the woman sees something in him that he cannot see himself, and that is what keeps drawing them closer.
Overall, "Angel Eyes" is a classic love song that reminds us that love often comes unexpectedly and can be hard to explain or define.

I was married 38 years & my husband used to sing this to me at night. He passed away in 2020 & I miss this.

I'm so sorry to Toni & Donna. That's heartbreaking. I came to comment on here bcuz my husband & I had this as our wedding song & it's our 33rd anniversary. I'm so lucky to still have him. Five yrs ago he had a heart attack, they put a stent in. Then recently he has chest pain, burning, shortness of breath & he went to the hospital. They needed to put a new stent in, the old one was completely blocked & he was in the verge of another heart attack. Now he has a valve condition & will need a couple of valves replaced. I feel so bad for him. He's a great guy, an amazing husband, father, Grampa, son, brother, & friend. I am hoping to celebrate our 50th someday. 🙏💕😍💑👫💏

I'm still hopeful I can find a love like this, but the people now and days just don't want this kind of love they just want to play.
