Fitzgerald, Ella - Angel Eyes Lyrics






Try to think that love's not around
But it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining 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 misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes on me

Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Oh, where is my angel eyes

Excuse me while I disappear
Angel eyes, angel eyes

    Try to think that love's not around
    But it's uncomfortably near
    My old heart ain't gaining no ground
    Because my angel eyes ain't here

    Angel eyes, angel eyes

    anyone know where the last part of this song is? In the crown she says “Angel Eyes” twice at the end. I really liked the second one which had more of a voice crack in it. But I can’t find it anywhere but the show.

    *edit:* I found it! It’s Angel Eyes from Ella Fitzgerald’s Ultimate album. You can find it on Spotify.

    s.... h....

    It's only in the remastered version. Unfortunately, Spotify doesn't have the remastered one.
    Edit: If you want to find it on youtube, its the video that says Vol. 4, Not the vol. 8

    s.... h....

    @Hailey Strickland i actually found it on spotify. its called ultimate ella fitzgerald album. the cover is pink

  10. B.... S....

    Outstanding. Ella. Outstanding. ....

  11. K.... F....

    i heard this bc someone was playing it on a vocal trinity vid... i have never watched the crown

  12. e.... i....

    Margaret fuck it uppppp.

  13. Y.... S....

    I adore Ella, I really truly do... but her version doesn’t do it to me like Frank’s rendition

  14. B.... ....

    You guys should listen to the Kenny Dorham version as well. It's amazing

  15. L.... S....

    Please get her CD "The Intimate Ella." These were songs she recorded for a film called LET NO MAN WRITE MY EPITAPH (1960). She's just accompanied by Paul Smith on the piano. It contains some of her purest, most beautiful vocalizing. I defy you to listen to her version of I HADN'T ANYONE TIL YOU and not cry.

  16. S.... L....

    Beautiful. Sinatra's version is great too.

  17. Y.... H....

    I try to think that love's not around
    But it's uncomfortably near
    My old heart ain't gaining 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 misspent
    Misspent with angel eyes tonight
    So drink up all you people
    Order anything you see
    Have fun you happy people
    The laughs and the jokes on me
    Pardon me but I got to run
    The fact's uncommonly clear
    Got to find who's now number one
    And why my angel eyes
    Oh, where is my angel eyes
    Excuse me while I disappear

  18. N.... ....

    Leaving Las Vegas brought me here...


    Edit: Who downvoted this...?

  19. R.... S....

    I love this version but this song belongs to Frank

  20. L.... ....

    this song will always make me think of princess margaret now after the crown. despite all the glamour and status, she deserved so much more

  21. T.... ....

    I just saw season 2 episode 4 of the crown 😭😭 I paused it immediately to find this song so I can cry to it again lmao

  22. S.... m....

    Dedico essa raridade a mim de 40

  23. J.... F....

    no one on earth like Ella = old blue eyes favourite singer - playing this on a Friday night suffering from shingles round the eyes - it actually has a soothing effect = majic =

  24. D.... L....

    Angel voice

  25. J.... G....

    From Season 2, Episode 4 of The Crown, 'Beryl', one of the best directed pieces of television I've seen in YEARS. Along with Episode 2, 'In the Company of Men'; just terrific TV. Period.

    J.... G....

    I absolutely agree. That scene made me speechless

  26. D.... F....

    this is perfect

  27. T.... L....

    The Crown brought us all!!

  28. f.... m....

    Truly Exquisite! Ella!!!!!Thank you!

  29. O.... d....

    Goose bumps and teary eyes

  30. E.... S....

    Really pretty song, good for letting emotions out.

  31. g.... ....

    Who else is remembering Princess Margaret breaking down in her room during an episode of The Crown?

  32. C.... S....

    Hauntingly beautiful

  33. M.... D....

    One of her best performances

  34. M.... P....

    The Chazz Grup: Another Version of this lovely Classic. Tnhks!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZk5AYQNNU8

  35. C.... p....

    reaches a sublime that no other singer ever approached. Sarah, Carmen, Billie, no one.

  36. T.... C....

    I don't know why I didn't recognize her voice when I heard this on The Crown. I had to look it up. Haunting. Ella Fitzgerald was a master vocalist. Sting also does a beautiful job on this song. Love his version in Leaving Las Vegas. Fabulous song. Thank you a lot for sharing it.

  37. T.... S....

    Pardon me but I got to run
    The fact's uncommonly clear
    Got to find who's now number one
    And why my angel eyes ain't here
    Oh, where is my angel eyes

    Excuse me while I disappear

  38. T.... B....

    What key?

    T.... B....

    Trinity Bell A minor

  39. P.... W....

    It was also sung by Sting for the movie Leaving Las Vegas. Super good!

  40. c.... k....

    She is my favorite. I love everything about her voice!!!

  41. P.... S....

    What version is this? In what record can it be found?

  42. M.... ....

    I'm so excited to read that so many of you came here via The Crown. I haven't seen it yet but I'm grateful that these movies and shows are introducing fabulous music and singers to a wider and new audience.

    M.... ....

    Such a sad commentary on the state of music that generations have missed these legends. I was lucky to inherit Uncle Al's Jazz Ladies collection. Hopefully, Film Makers will intro some more of these great classics.

  43. B.... R....

    First, “Cry” now this. Thank you #TheCrown

  44. C.... R....

    They just don’t make them like they used too!!! Don’t get any better.......

  45. M.... M....

    Try to think that love's not around
    But it's uncomfortably near
    My old heart ain't gaining 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 mispent
    Mispent with angel eyes tonight

    So drink up all you people
    Order anything you see
    Have fun you happy people
    The laughs and the jokes on me

    Pardon me but I got to run
    The fact's uncommonly clear
    Got to find who's now number one
    And why my angel eyes ain't here

  56. J.... P....

    Perfection, and a live performance. So few can do that today.

    J.... P....

    J. P. Bowie Crazy she sounds so good live. Didn't occur to me it was live until the applause at the end & scrolling to see this comment. Such a talent she was. ♡

  57. B.... W....

    Ella and Frank, so different yet both perfection.

    B.... W....

    Don't forget chet!!

  58. G.... S....

    The fact's uncommonly clear-she's number one and this version is better than the one with the full orchestra behind her. She actually hit a bad note near the beginning of that one. This is perfection which we expect from her or is it Her?

    G.... S....

    i WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY VERSION WHERE THERE WAS A FULL ORCHESTRA.

  59. J.... M....

    Bellisima canción. Beautifull song. Bellisima

  60. E.... ....

    Can't decide which version is my fave, this one or Sinatra's

  61. T.... ....

    96 years ago a legend was born.

  62. C.... M....

    This song makes my heart flutter. The most beautiful voice of her era!
