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.

CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 CM7 Am7 Dm7 We meet, and the angels sing. G13 Dm7 G13 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard. CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 CM7 Am7 Dm7 You speak, and the angels sing. G13 Dm7 G13 G7+5 CM7 Am7 FM7 G CM7 Or am I reading music into every word?
[Bridge]
Gm7 C7 Suddenly, the setting is strange. Gm7 C7 I can see water and moonlight beaming. Gm7 C7 Silver waves that break on some Gm7 C7 undiscovered shore then Gm7 C7 Suddenly, I see it all change. Gm7 C7 Long winter nights with the candles gleaming. FM7 G13 G7+5 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 Through it all your face that I adore.
[Verse]
CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 You smile, and the angels sing. Dm7 G13 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start. CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 Em7-5 Bb7 A7 We kiss, and the angels sing. Dm7 Fm7-5 CM7 And leave their music ringing in my heart!
