Lyrics
| a. Angel face, we just met; well, just how lucky can one boy get. There's a light in your eyes, I know it's love and I know that I could be happy With a girl like you, umm-umm |
| b. Tell your ma, tell your pa[r], and tell your favourite old wishing star, We're in love, just by chance I asked you would like to dance. Fancy dancing with a girl like you. |
| c.Funny how love can come to a lonely heart. I'm a boy, you're a girl; I guess that's a pretty good start. |
|
d. Here I am [am I], there you are; together baby we should go far. |
