Angel Eyes
Jeff Healy Lyrics

Girl, you're looking fine tonight,
The singer compliments the woman's beauty and appearance.

And every guy has got you in his sights
Other men are also noticing and admiring her beauty.

What you're doing with a clown like me,
The singer is surprised and grateful that a woman as beautiful as her is interested in him.

Is surely one of life's little mysteries
He's amazed and feels fortunate to have her love.

So tonight I'll ask the stars above
The singer will ask the universe for guidance and wisdom.

"How did I ever win your love?"
He wonders how he got so lucky to have her love him.

What did I do?
The singer is questioning what actions he took which led to the woman's love.

What did I say,
He is curious to know what words he spoke to make her fall for him.

To turn your angel eyes my way?
He's curious to know what traits or qualities caught her attention and love.

Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance,
The singer reveals a personal flaw.

Never even got one second glance
He's never been the object of affection of women or received attention from them.

Across a crowded room was close enough,
He's never had the courage to approach women or tried to get closer to them.

I could look but I could never touch.
He admires from afar but never had the chance to make a move or approach women.

Don't anyone wake me,
The singer feels like he's living a dream and doesn't want to be brought back to reality.

If it's just a dream
He's afraid that it's all just temporary and not real.

Oh she's the best thing,
The woman he loves is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to him.

That's ever happened to me
He thinks she's the most significant positive event in his life.

All you fellows, you can look all you like,
Other men may admire her beauty and flirt with her.

But this girl, you see, she's leavin' here
The woman decides to go home with the singer.

With me tonight
The woman chooses to spend the night with the singer.

There's just one more thing I have to know,
There's still something that the singer needs to find out.

If this is love why does it scare me so?
He's surprised that love scares him even though he feels lucky to have it.

It must be something only you can see,
He thinks that the woman sees something in him that he doesn't see himself.

'Cause girl I feel it when you look at me
He feels love and affirmation when she looks at him.

So tonight I'll ask the stars above
The singer is going to ask the universe for guidance again.

"How did I ever win your love?"
He repeats his question that he's been wondering all night.

What did I do?
The singer continues to ponder what he's done to deserve her love.

What did I say,
He thinks about what he's said to impress her.

To turn your angel eyes my way?
He questions what he's done to make her see him in a positive light.
