Angel Eyes
"Angel Eyes" is a song composed in 1946 by Matt Dennis, with lyrics by Earl Brent. It's a very popular jazz standard which has inspired many original interpretations. Several performers have recorded different versions of the song.
Ella Fitzgerald, who recorded "Angel Eyes" at least four times, named it as her all-time favorite song. In 1971, when Sinatra held what he intended to be his farewell concert (and the end to his show business career), he closed with "Angel Eyes". His retirement lasted only two years.

And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
'cause the laugh and the drinks on me
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain't gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight
And order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
'cause the drink and the laughs on me
The fact's uncommonly clear
I got to find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
