Day 23 - A Song to Play at My Wedding

... *spaced out* ...
depends on who the guy is.  Meh, I'll just post this song because it's sweet and I can picture it at a wedding.  "Angel Eyes" by John Hiatt.


The version I have is slightly different, it's from his album "Hiatt Comes Alive at Buddokan".

Angel Eyes
Girl, you're looking fine tonight
And every Fella HAS got you in his sights
What you're doing with a clown like me
Is surely one of life's little mysteries

CHORUS:
So tonight I'll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?

Well I'm the guy who never learned to dance
I never even got one second glance
Across the crowded room, that was close enough
I could look, but I could never touch

CHORUS

Don't anybody wake me if this is a dream
'Cause she is the best thing that's ever happened to me
All you fellas yeh! you can look all you like
But this girl you see, she's leaving HERE with me tonight

And there's just one more thing I need to know
If this is love then why does it scare me so
Must be something only you can see
But girl, I feel it when you look at me

CHORUS

What did I do, what did I say?
To turn your angel eyes my way.



There's a lot of covers for this song, not even the person who introduced me to John Hiatt knew this song as Hiatt's.  I hope you all enjoy this song, see you later!
