(You May Not Be An Angel, But) I`ll String Along With You
- words by Al Dubin, music by Harry Warren
- from the Broadway musical `20 Million Sweethearts`
- as recorded in San Francisco, March 1, 1934 by
Dick Powell with Ted Fio Rito & his Orchestra
All my life I`ve waited for an angel
But no angel ever came along
Then one happy afternoon I met you
And my heart began to sing a song
Somehow, I mistook you for an angel
But now I`m glad that I was wrong
You may not be an angel
`Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I`ll string along with you
I`m looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I`ll sing my song to you
For every little fault that you have
Say, I`ve got three or four
The human little faults you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be an angel
But still I`m sure you`ll do
So until the day that one comes along
I`ll string along with you
--- brief instrumental interlude ---
For every little fault that you have
Say, I`ve got three or four
The human little faults you do have, honey
Just make me love you more
You may not be an angel
But still I`m sure you`ll do
So until the day that one comes along
I`ll string along with you
