Hey good lookin', good tonight, and every girl has got you
In her site, what you doin' with someone like me, surely one
Of lifes mystery.

So tonight, I'll ask the stars above, how did
I ever win your love, what did I do, what did I say, to turn your angel eyes

Well I'm a girl who never learned to dance, never even got one
Second glance, across a crowded room was close enough, I could
Look but I could never touch.

I ever win your love, what did I do, what did I say, to turn your angel eyes
My way.

Don't let me wake, don't let anyone wake me if its just a dream, cause

'Cause this guy you see is leaving here with me, yeaahh
