SHE WAS A GIRL CALLED ANGEL EYES

(Jimmy Kennedy, Walter Dobson)


As recorded by:
Maurice Elwin, acc. By
Studio Orchestra Dir. John Firman
Recorded August 1931



An old man was telling his story
As he sat in his old arm chair
With a tear in his eye he said with a sigh
Here’s the story of my love affair

She was a girl called Angel Eyes
Fair as a rose in June
I fell in love with Angel Eyes
Only to part so soon
She wanted riches and life that was gay
I couldn’t give them so she went away
Though she is gone my love lives on
And I’m lonely for Angel Eyes

(Musical Break)

She wanted riches and life that was gay
I couldn’t give them so she went away
Though she is gone my love lives on
And I’m lonely for Angel Eyes
