And The Angels Sing

And The Angels Sing
music by Ziggy Elman
lyric by Johnny Mercer (top right)

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 ev'ry word.

Suddenly, the setting is strange, I can see water and moonlight beaming,

Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore;

Suddenly I see it all change, long winter nights with the candles gleaming,

Thru it all your face that I adore.

You smile, and the angels sing and tho' it's just a gentle murmer at the start,

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