Earth Angel Lyrics
[Chorus]
Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine?
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
[Verse 1]
Earth angel, earth angel
The one I adore
Love you forever, and ever more
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
[Verse 2]
I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your love, loveliness
I hope and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happiness
[Chorus]
Oh, earth angel, earth angel
Please be mine
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
[Verse 3]
I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your loveliness
I hope and pray that someday
That I'll be the vision of your happiness
[Chorus]
Oh, earth angel, earth angel
Please be mine
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you (You, you, you)
