Sing Sing Sing
King Of Swing Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We meet, and the angels sing
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard
You speak, and the angels sing
Or am I breathing music into every word

Suddenly, the setting is strange
I can see water and moonlight beaming
Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore - Then
Suddenly, I see it all change
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming
Through it all your face that I adore.

You smile, and the angels sing
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start




We kiss, and the angels sing
And leave their music ringing in my heart.
