Lyrics
ANGELS DON'T TELL LIES
110/by philippa winkler copyright ASCAP 9/2012
DOING FAVORS
THEY'RE OUR NEIGHBORS
AND OUR BEST OLD
FRIENDS
WHO DO WE GO TO
TO TELL OUR STORY
WHEN LIFE GETS TOO MUCH
IN THE END
THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT
ANGELS LOOK LIKE
HANDSOME, WITH BIG SHINING WINGS
NOT THE ONES I KNOW
HE'S JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE
SHE'S JUST YOUR AVERAGE
JANE
Chorus:
YOU SEE IT IN THEIR EY-ES
THEY'RE ANGELS
IN DISGUISE
YOU SEE IT ON THEIR FACES
ANGELS DON'T TELL LIES
WORDS OF WISDOM
WHISPERED SHYLY
JUST WHEN WE NEED
TO BELIEVE
A LOVELY SMILE
A FRIENDLY FACE
ALWAYS DOING GOOD
DEEDS
THOUGHT ANGELS WORE
LONG FLOWING ROBES
AS THEY FLY AROUND THE
SKY
BUT COME TO FIND OUT
THE ONES THAT I KNOW
THEY 'RE JUST LIKE YOU AND I
YOU SEE IT IN THEIR EY-ES
THEY'RE ANGELS
IN DISGUISE
YOU SEE IT ON THEIR FACES
ANGELS DON'T TELL LIES
HE'S THE GUY WHO
SWEEPS UP THE PLATFORM OF THE RAILWAY TRAIN
SHE'S THE MAID WHO
CLEANS YOUR ROOM
BUT HARDLY GETS PAID
SHE'S YOUR WAITRESS
FULL OF GOOD CHEER
Fmaj7 SHE REMEMBERS YOUR NAME
YOU SEE IT IN THEIR EY-ES
THEY'RE ANGELS
IN DISGUISE
YOU SEE IT ON THEIR FACES
ANGELS ANGELS DON'T TELL LIES
