Angel Eyes (From "Leaving Las Vegas") Songtext
von Sting

Have you ever had the feeling
That the world′s gone and left you behind?
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to losing your mind?

You look around each corner
Hoping that she′s there
You try to play it cool, perhaps
Pretend that you don't care

But it doesn't do a bit of good
You got to seek ′till you find
Or you never unwind

Try to think
That love is not around
Still it′s uncomfortably near


My old heart
Ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain′t here

Angel eyes that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say
That my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up, all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun, you happy people
The drink and the laugh′s on me

Pardon me
But I got to run
The fact's uncomfortably clear
Got to find who′s now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here


Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here?
Asking why my angel eyes ain′t here?
Excuse me while I disappear
