Johnny Angel
Lyrics
(Words and Music by Lee Pockriss and Lyn Duddy)
(Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel,
Johnny Angel)
You're an angel to me
Johnny Angel, how I love him
He's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I-I-I exist
Johnny Angel, how I want him
How I tingle when he passes by
Every time he says "Hello" my heart begins to
fly
CHORUS
(I'm in heaven) I get carried away
I dream of him and me and how it's gonna be
(Other fellas) call me up for a date
But I just sit and wait, I'd rather concentrate
On Johnny Angel (Johnny Angel)
'cause I love him ('cause I love him)
And I pray that someday he'll love me
And together we will see how lovely heaven will
be
REPEAT CHORUS AND LAST VERSE
(Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel)
Johnny Angel, (Johnny Angel), you're an angel to
me
(Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel)
Johnny Angel, (Johnny Angel), you're an angel to
me
