I once wished on a star,
when I was young, naive and playful
but the star didn't come through,
I thought it was disgraceful, distasteful.
I once dreamed me a dream,
a wild imagination,
but the truth didn't stand up
to cross-examination, interrogation.
Chorus:
But O!, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't care, I just go.
You do, do what you can,
pass a little friendly conversation.
no great thoughts of man,
that's well beyond your station, your situation.
Chorus:
But O!, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't care, I just go.
And the dream's been wished on a star
and the star's wandering round heaven
and you're here by my side
we're angels at eleven.
when I was young, naive and playful
but the star didn't come through,
I thought it was disgraceful, distasteful.
I once dreamed me a dream,
a wild imagination,
but the truth didn't stand up
to cross-examination, interrogation.
Chorus:
But O!, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't care, I just go.
You do, do what you can,
pass a little friendly conversation.
no great thoughts of man,
that's well beyond your station, your situation.
Chorus:
But O!, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't care, I just go.
And the dream's been wished on a star
and the star's wandering round heaven
and you're here by my side
we're angels at eleven.
