Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
First release by: Willie Nelson - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



If you had not have fallen
I would not have found you 
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
And I patched up your broken wings
And hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
Knew someday that you would fly away
For loves the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
So fly on
Fly on
Past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up then to see you down
So leave me if you need to
I'll still remember
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
Leave me if you need to
I'll still remember
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground

Angel Fingers
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): Wizzard



As I was lying in my bedroom fast asleep
Filled with those famous teenage pictures that you keep
Will Dion still be so important to you on your wedding day

Angel Fingers, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

I drove my motorcycle to that small café
That's when I heard our favourite record start to play
If I'm not singing in a suit that's clinging
Please don't walk away

Angel Fingers, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

If I could land a job with that cool rockin' band
You'd notice me with that red guitar in my hand
With money in my jeans my baby
We'd have all these things we planned

Angel Fingers, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

Oh Oh Angel, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

Darlin'
Originally performed by: Frankie Miller
Covered by various other artists



Darlin', I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone soon
But I don't have a dime
Darlin' you're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line

Takin' me some paper
Pencil in my hand
I'm gonna write

Darlin', you know I feel the cold nights
Thinking of the old nights
Spent along with you

Darlin' the tear is in my eye now
Knowing I can try now
To make it back to you

Darlin', love you more than ever
Wish we were together
Darlin' of mine.
Darlin', I'm feeling pretty lonesome, ...

Your picture on my wall, your letter on my bed
And, darling, I recall everything you said
Angel face, angel face, angel face
Darling, I love you
Oh, if you were here once more in my embrace
I'd kiss away each tear from your angel face
Angel face, angel face, angel face
Darling, I love you
It's been so long since I held you so tight
It's been so long since I kissed you goodnight
I don't need a moon to thrill to all your charms
Won't you come back soon and fill my empty arms?
Angel face, angel face, angel face
Darling, I love you
Darling, I love you
Darling, I love you

Darlin'
Performer(s): Brenton Wood



Darlin', if I sat down and I wrote a song
I would know where every word belongs
'cuz I'd write my song about you
Darlin', if I tried to paint a work of art
all the colors would pour from my heart
'cuz all I think about is you
If I built a tower, it would reach right to the sky
If I plant a flower, it will never die
I could climb a mountain
No, there's nothing I couldn't do
Now that's the way it is for me now that I found you
Darlin', I find I think about you every day
You're the only thing that's on my mind
Couldn't make it without you
Darlin', I love you
Darlin' Darlin' Darlin', I need you...

Angel Eyes
Composer(s): Earl Brent  Matt Dennis
First recording/First release by: Ella Fitzgerald - 1952/Nat King Cole & Billy May & His Orch. - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists



Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My own heart ain't gainin' 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 mis-spent
Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up, drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink, and the laugh's, on me

Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I gotta find who's now number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here

I gotta find who's now the number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here
`Scuse me while I disappear

Dirladadà dirladadà 
Ho seminato il grano el vento 
Ho messo il enore in un convento 
Dirladadà dirladadà 
Ho riso e quaiche volta pianto 
Non so se il mondo vale tanto 
Io son felice quando canto 
Ho dirlada una montagna 
Mi siedo sopra e elo che vedo 
Dico che è mio e poi ci credo 
Redirlada dirladadà 
Ci vuole con poco in fondo 
Per diventare i re del mondo 
Io danzero dirladadà 

Dirladadà il mondo bella 
La pazza danza della vita 
Solleva il mondo con due dita 
E centomila cuori in festa 
Cantasse il mondo più di adesso 
La stessa vuota trite vita 
Che fa dirla dirladadà 
E dirlada era un ragazzo 
Diceva cose mai sentite 
Mi dava cose mai avute 
E solo lacrime ha lasciato 
Il mio nomo le ha capite 
E mi ha curato le ferite 
Dirladadà dirladadà 
E dirlada il mondo bella 
La pazza danza della vita 
Solleva il mondo con due dita 
Dirladadà dirladadà 
Una canzone da cantare 
E volte fa dimenticare 
Oh dirlada il mondo canta 
Dirladadà la gente bella 
La vita è un dirladadà 
Pero la vita lo si sa 
Va presa in fondo come va 
E la morale è questa qua 
E dirlada dirladadà 
Oh dadadà dirladadà...

Angeleyes
Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus
First release by: ABBA - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah 
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah 
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes 
I keep thinking, a-aaah 

Last night I was taking a walk along the river 
And I saw him together with a young girl 
And the look that he gave her made me shiver 
'Cause he always used to look at me that way 
Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say 
Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play 

Look into his angeleyes 
One look and you're hypnotized 
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price 
Look into his angeleyes 
You'll think you're in paradise 
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise 
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes 
Oh no no no no 

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah 
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah 
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes 
I keep thinking, a-aaah 

Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him 
And it hurts to remember all the good times 
When I thought I could never live without him 
And I wonder does it have to be the same 
Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain? 
Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name? 

Look into his angeleyes 
One look and you're hypnotized 
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price 
Look into his angeleyes 
You'll think you're in paradise 
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise 
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes 
Crazy 'bout his angeleyes 
Angeleyes 
He took my heart and now I pay the price 
Look into his angeleyes 
You'll think you're in paradise 
Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise 
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes 
Oh no no no no 

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah 
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah 

Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah 
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes 
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah 
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price 

(repeat)

So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss 
Denn alles kommt, wie's kommen muss 
Da helfen schöne orte nicht 
Wenn auch dein mund so viel verspricht 
So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss 
Es gibt nur noch den abschiedskuss 
Dann geh ich fort aus unsrem haus 
Denn für uns beide ist es aus 

Du liebst dein geld und willst noch mehr 
Ich hab zwei hände, die sind leer 
So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss 
Adieu, leb wohl, ein letzter gruss
Du kannst vergessen, ach, so schnell 
Die andre tritt an meine stell 
Ich aber werde traurig sein 
Dort im hotel und gauz allein 

Ich hasse sie, die grosse stadt 
Die mich ums glück betrogen hat 
Mir bleiben nur noch wald und feld 
Dort, wo freund fluss mir treue hält 
Der mit mir lebt, weil er mich kennt 
Wenn er über die kiesel rennt 
Singt er, singt er allein für mich 
Re dirlada dirladada 

Ich hass dich nicht, du bist nicht schlecht 
Jetzt hab ich doch auf mich ein recht 
Der heisst dirla dirladada 
Wie all das geld, das dir gehört 
Es war so schön, doch nun ist schluss
Denn alles kommt, wiets kommen muss
Ich hab dir ja gesagt, warum 
Ich gehe fort, schau mich nicht um 

Geh hin zum fluss, zu meinem freund 
Der singt dirlade dirlada 
Ich hass dich nicht, du bist nicht schlecht 
Jetzt hab ich doch auf mich ein recht 
Und nun gehör ich meinem fluss 
Und lebe, wie ich leben muss
Und singe mit dem fluss vereint 
Ein frohes lied mit meinem freund 
Das lied Dirlare dirlada 
Oh dadada dirladada 
Re dirlada dirladada 
Darla dirla dirladada

(Angel doll)

You excite me everytime you speak
When you touch me I get, oh, so weak
I have never met a girl like you, baby
You're the one that I'll give my whole life to

All I wanna say is angel doll
When I met you there with holiness
You're my everything I must confess
I have never known such tenderness

Baby, you can't compare this love we share
That takes away my feels, yeah
This love and real I can't conceal
And I'm so, so, so glad you're here

Angel doll, it will be a great catastrophe, baby
And my whole world would comin' down on me
If our love would ever seize to be

That's why I call you, angel doll
You're the substance of my every prayer, baby
I'll be happy with you anywhere
Let me shield you with my loving care

Heaven must have sent you, honey
You're an angel in disguise, yeah
'Cause all the love I wanted so long
I can see it in your eyes

Angel doll, you're the reason that I carry on, baby
I can't make it, I can't make it by myself alone
You're the one that I'm depending upon

Angel doll, you know that I love you
Angel doll, I put no one above you
Angel doll, you knock me off of my feet
Angel doll, you make my whole life complete
Angel doll ...

Adieu Monsieur tout est fini
Quitte moi et refais ta vie
Je préférais la fleur des champs
Toi le soleil de ses vingt ans
Monsieur tu n'étais pas fidèle
A ce qu'en disait mes amis
Il faisait bon dans le logis
Adieu Monsieur j'avais du cœur
Elle a deux champs et un tracteur
Et moi je n'ai que mes deux mains
Pour semer le vent et le grain
Adieu Monsieur pendant que t'aime
Moi j'irai voir pousser les graines

Adieu Monsieur tout est fini
Adieu l'enfant tu pars aussi
On dit que la ville c'est mieux qu'ici
Tu pourras avoir des voitures
Comme dans les livres d'aventures
Je n'ai qu'une enfant, c'est ma terre
Je n'ai qu'une amie, la rivière
Elle est à moi elle me connaît
Quand elle danse sur les galets
Elle fait dirla dirladada, et dirlada dirladada
Cour le furet file la vague
Je vivrai dans un monde d'algues
Qui fait dirla dirladada

Adieu l'enfant, adieu marie
Laissez-moi donc vivre ma vie
Il est temps de couper le seigle
Je crois que je vous ai tout dit
Je n'ai qu'une enfant, c'est ma terre
Je n'ai qu'une amie, la rivière
Elle fait dirla dirladada
Court le furet file la vague
Je vivrai dans un monde d'algues
Qui fait dirla dirladada
Et j'aurais l'océan pour toi
Qui chante ladirladada ladidir dirladada
Redirlada dirladada oh dadadadirladada
Qui chante ladirladada...

You're just as sweet as an angel 
I'm happy when you are near
I couldn't do without you 
Really dear, I am sincere

Dear, since you gave me your answer 
My happiness is complete 
It seems in all my dreaming 
I repeat, mem'ries so sweet

Angel child, I'm just wild about you 
Angel child, say that you love me too 
In your arms forever I'd stay 
You drive away, shadows of gray 
When you smile, I'm in heaven it's true 
Cuddle closer do
Angel child, I'm just putting it mild
When I say that I'm wild about you

Composer(s): Jesse Colin Young
Originally performed by: The Youngbloods
Covered by various other artists



Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my hand, and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, has me yearning
For things that cannot be
Keep me my mind from constant turning
Toward the things it cannot see
Things it cannot see
Things it cannot see

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
As the day brings the pain
I have found the edge of stillness
I live in the depth of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with endless night
Take away the pain that flows away
Fill the emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my hand, and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with endless night
Take away the pain that flows away
Fill the emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright

(Angel baby you're mine forever)
(Angel baby, you angel baby you)
Who is the dream who starts me dreaming
Angel baby
Then keeps me worrying and schemeing
You, angel baby, you

Who starts me walking 'round in clover
Angel baby
Then flips my crazy heart right over
You, angel baby, you

Who is the chick I would pick as the absolutely perfect miss for me to kiss
Who is the girl who can curl me around her finger when we kiss again
Who can imagine what I'd give for Angel baby
Just for the chance to love and live for
You, angel baby, you

(Angel baby) you're mine forever
(Angel baby) you, angel baby, you
(Who is the chick he would pick as the absolutely perfect miss for him to kiss)
(Who is the girl who can twirl him around her little finger when they kiss again)

Who can imagine what I'd give for Angel baby
Just for the chance to love and live for
You, angel baby, you
(Angel baby) you're mine forever
(Angel baby) you, angel baby, you

Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson
and various other artists



When it's darkness on the delta 
that's the time my heart is light
When it's darkness on the delta 
let me linger in the shelter of the night
Fields of cotton all around me 
darkies singin' sweet and low 
Lord I'm lucky that you found me 
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow

Lounging on the levee 
Listenin' to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy
All God's children got someone to love

When it's darkness on the delta 
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta 
let me linger in the shelter of the night

Angel And The Badman
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
Performer(s): Johnny Cash



There was a man whose deeds were dark as night
And quite by chance he rode into the light
A man wild as the dust devil with no place to run 
Livin' by his wits and by his gun
He met a girl like none he had ever known 
She cared not for the wild oats he had sown
And so he laid his gun down and set his spirit free 
Began living in respectability
But his old ways of thinkin' wouldn't die 
Could not forget the old creed he lived by
And the good and bad and right and wrong kept fightin' for his soul
Till his heart and mind both went out of control

But now the old saloon had lost its spell 
What once was laughter now was living hell
And the hookers, guns and drinkin' in his life were out of place
And in his mind he saw an angel's face
So he burned all his bridges in a day 
And the devil deeds were done and laid away
And he rode out a better man than when he first rode in
And the angel got the badman in the end

Darkness 
Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



Darkness, darkness, hungry to the bone 
Darkness, darkness, take my body home 
God I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love 
She like a pooka 
She holy roller, love me like a song 
She like a lightning 
She roller coaster, 'till the break of dawn 
She like a shadow 
She all around me, nasty hearted dream 
She got the sexy 
She do it to me, wake me when I dream 
God I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love 
Now I lay me down to sleep, goodnight 
Pray the Lord my soul will keep tonight 
If I die before I wake, in your arms my love can't break away 
Darkness (she like a shadow) 
Darkness (she all around me) 
Nasty hearted dream 
Darkness (she got the sexy) 
Darkness (she do it to me) 
Wake me when I scream 
God I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
