Lyrics
Pretty little angel eyes,
Pretty little angel eyes,
Pretty little angel,
pretty little angel,
Pretty little, pretty
little, pretty little angel
(Ba-bom) ooooo-oo,
ooooo-oo (ha-ha-ha-ha)
Ooooo-oo, pretty, pretty,
pretty little angel eyes...
Angel eyes, I really love you so.
Angel eyes, I'll never let you go
Because I love you, my
darlin' angel eyes.
(Pretty, pretty, pretty
little angel eyes.)
Angel eyes, you are so good to me.
And when I'm in your
arms you be so heavenly.
You know I love you,
my darlin' angel eyes.
(Angel eyes, bom-bom-bom-bom)
I know you were sent
from heaven a-bo-ove,
You rule my life with
your wonderful lo-ove.
I know we'll be hap-py
For e-ter-ni-ty,
'Cause I know-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow
That our love is really real.
Angel eyes, I really love you so.
Angel eyes, I'll never let you go,
Because I love you, my darlin'
angel eyes, angel eyes.
Pretty little angel eyes,
Pretty little angel eyes,
Pretty little angel,
pretty little angel,
Pretty little, pretty
little, pretty little angel
-------------
(Pretty, pretty,pretty)
(Angel eyes) Angel eyes,
I really love you so.
Angel eyes, I'll never let you go.
Because I love you,
My darlin' angel eyes.
(Pretty, pretty, pretty
little angel eyes)
Oooooo-oo, oooooo-oo (ha-ha-ha-ha)
Oooooo-oo, oo, oo, oooooo
Oo-oo-oo-oo . . . .
