About Angel Eyes

"Angel Eyes" is a song by the English rock band Roxy Music. It was released in August 1979 as the third single from their album Manifesto, and peaked at No. 4 in the UK. The single was a disco re-recorded version of the album track, which was more in a rock vein, and (just like the previous single "Dance Away") was also released as an extended 12" dance mix (still a relatively new format at that time). The single version of "Angel Eyes" later replaced the album version for subsequent releases. The album version was first re-released on Thrill of It All box-set. The 1999 re-mastered version of the Manifesto album finally restored the original version of the song. The single re-recording of the song omits the last verse. Coincidentally, the song was in the UK Top 20 at the same time as another song called "Angeleyes" by the Swedish group ABBA."Angel Eyes" was also the first record that Roxy Music made a specific music video for.

Angel eyes, am I deceived or did you sigh?
For all I know you let you love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes, you never close, who's got the time?
I can wait until your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes, seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes, on the wing and open wide
No matter how high the moon
Shine down on me
