"Angel Eyes" is a song written by John Hiatt and Fred Koller, and produced by Greg Ladanyi for The Jeff Healey Band's first album See the Light (1988).
See the Light is the debut album by the Jeff Healey Band. It was released on September 13, 1988. It was No. 50 of the top 100 albums in Canada in 1989.[2] In 1990 it was nominated for an "Album of the Year" Juno Award.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Healey was raised in the city's west end. He was adopted as an infant; his adoptive father was a firefighter. When he was almost one year old, Healey lost his sight to retinoblastoma, a rare cancer of the eyes. His eyes had to be surgically removed, and he was given ocular prostheses.
Lyrics
Girl, you're lookin' so good tonight
And every guy has got you in his sights
What you're doin' with a clown like me?
You know I've been called worse
It's got to be one of life's little mysteries
So tonight I'll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love, yeah
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?
You know I'm the guy who never learned to dance
Never even got one second glance
I never saw a second glance
Way across a crowded room was close enough
I could look but I could never touch
So tonight I'll ask the stars above, yeah
Baby, how did I ever win your love?
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?
Don't anyone wake me, if it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing that's ever happened to me
All you fellows, you can stare at her all you like
But this girl that you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight
There's just one more little thing that I need to know
If this is love, why does it scare me so?
Well, it must be somethin' that only you can see
'Cause I can feel it, baby, when you look at me
So tonight I'll ask all the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?
Turn my way
