And The Angels Sing

And The Angels Sing - The Count Basie Orchestra

We meet and the angels sing

The angels sing the sweetest song I've ever heard

You speak and the angels sing

Or am I breathing music into every word

Then 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
