And The Angels Sing 1939

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Nov 2003

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.

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.
