From Leaving Las Vegas soundtrack
Lyrics by Earl Brent, music by Matt Dennis
Have you ever had the feeling
That the world's gone and left you behind
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to loosing your mind
You look around each corner
Hoping that she's there
You try to play it cool perhaps
Pretend that you don't care
But it doesn't do a bit of good
You got to seek 'til you find
Or you never unwind
Try to think
That loves not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My old heart
Ain't gainin' 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
You drink and the laugh's on me
Pardon me
But I "gotta run"
The fact's uncommonly clear
Gotta find
Who's now "Number One"
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here
Excusez-moi my angel eyes ain't here
