How Do You Speak Like An Angel
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do you speak to an angel
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
Or do you just say I love you out loud
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
