Angel face
We've just met
Just how lucky can one boy get
There's a light in your eye
I know it's love and I know that I could be happy
With a girl like you

Tell your mom tell your pa
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
Funny how love can come to a lonely heart
I'm a boy, you're a girl I guess that's a pretty start
Here I am, there you are
Together baby we should go far
A girl like you, a boy like me
Two hearts together like they ought to be
Can't believe
I've got a girl like
