And The Angels Sing
Bing Crosby
This is the 1953 bing crosby version in C. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUaESBIY7rg It’s similar to the original 1939 benny goodman version martha tilton on vocals in Bb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOz0QZSHYCY Lyrics by johnny mercer. Both versions go to this weird break with riffs from hava nagila and can can. It’s not a bad song but a whole lot of 1 6 2 5. The bridge is long & 5m 1 for all except the last line. Em7-5 x7878x Fm7-5 x8989x [Intro] +7 +5 [Verse] We meet and the angels sing. The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard. You speak and the angels sing. Or am I reading music into every word? [Bridge] Suddenly the setting is strange. I can see water and moonlight beaming. Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore then Suddenly I see it all change. Long winter nights with the candles gleaming. Through it all your face that I adore. [Verse] You smile and the angels sing. And though it’s just a gentle murmur at the start. We kiss and the angels sing. And leave their music ringing in my heart!
