Angel Eyes 03:44
I was looking for someone all my life, now here you come a look from you I come undone if I'm in love you're my precious angel eyes. I was walking wide-eyed, down, all around this wide-eyed town till you saw me and I was found if I'm in love you're my precious angel eyes. Love is simply the feeling you get when all you wanted is all that is left you were the first, and the last, and the best i need you... Now we're walking avenues hand in hand and two by two underneath that New York moon we're in love under that watchful angel eye we're in love and that's a wonderful angel eye i'm in love and you're my precious angel eyes.

Nothing's gained if nothing is given to chance or a chance of loss That's just the way that our fortunes are sold and bought You were standing by the edge of the road waiting for your luck to show Luck decided you were no one worth knowing. Tramps like us don't need to bother Tramps like us just need each other Tramps like us just looking for a little bit of love That's all. We went looking for a daydream stimulation at the bar about a half past noon But any liquor at that hour sings an evil tune. So we went back to our flophouse rooms circling like two satellites And never saw the light of love again until we died. Tramps like us don't need no saviors Tramps like us just need each other Tramps like us just looking for a little bit of love That's all. Nothing's gained if nothing is given to chance or a chance of loss That's just the way that our fortunes are sold and bought Everyday is just another try at getting it right or getting it rough We ain't got much but we got another day and that's enough.

Words come out like from a gun honed by our silver tongues it's a sharp breath you're breathing, babe careful you don't get stung by its hate. Words come out until they're done passing by our silver tongues it's a sharp blade you're wielding still only use it if it's a kill. Don't tell her you're leaving there's still time to lie Don't tell her you're leaving and you won't have to say goodbye.

That's my baby's breath that you hold That's my baby's breath that done told you a lie Didn't you know he's still mine? That's my mama's words that you spoke That's my mama's wisdom you quote, when she said, "Don't let anyone take what you own." That's my daddy's gun at your throat That's my daddy's thoughts that I wrote down for you: "Don't let God get in the way of an evil man's demise." Now I'm leaving the penitentiary Served my twenty years to life, now I'm free, Free to visit you again and spit upon your grave. That's your baby's breath that I hold That's your baby's breath that's grown up, and old, Never knowing who her daddy was.

I look into my lover's eyes and every time I get more surprised how they help me survive cause I've loved you forever and a day. Before we met above my mama's grave I spent my nights feeling so afraid but now I feel safe cause I've got you forever and a day. Love don't ask for no warning sign it's the closest we get to divine- well am I feeling right? Cause I don't care what my neighbors say they spend their days feeling wild and crazed but that's not my way cause I've got you forever and a day. Love don't ask for no warning sign it's the closest we get to divine- well am I feeling right? I don't know why She don't know quite the price I pay just to make it through them lonesome days but I'll be ok cause I've got her forever and a day.
