ANGEL EYES

Little Steven

She sits by her window I watch her there
She makes me coffee, she combs her hair
Her eyes are shining she's gone I know
She's on a stage in a palace so long ago
Ain't it a shame, money can't buy what she sees
She's got the heart of a child, bless my soul
Precious as diamonds, silver and gold

When I look into your angel eyes
You got me baby I realize
I ain't never gonna make you cry
Ooh, you angel eyes

She dances in shadows, she bleeds in tears
She turns into animals, she disappears
Surrounded by mirrors while the spirits watch
They look now baby, but they can't touch
The pain is intoxicating if the music is loud enough
I'd buy her jewelry, I'd buy her a ring, I'd buy her the world
But it don't mean a thing

When I look into your angel eyes
You got me baby, I realize
I ain't never gonna make you cry
Ooh, you angel eyes

Ain't it a shame, up 'till now she's had to dream alone
She really belongs in another time
But for awhile she's mine all mine

When I look into your angel eyes
You got me baby, I realize
I ain't never gonna make you cry
Ooh, you angel eyes
