MUSIC BY THE ANGELS
(Arthur Altman / Marty Simes)

as recorded by Vic Damone
with George Siravo & his Orchestra
1950


I asked my mom how I would know
When the right one came along.
She said, "Son, you'll know, it'll strike a mighty cord,
You'll hear music by the angels and lyrics by The Lord!"

And I asked my mom how I would know,
Will the feeling be so strong?
She said, "Son, you'll know, it'll stab you like a sword,
You'll hear music by the angels and lyrics by The Lord!"

She said, "Now my little bird, you're just learnin' to fly,
So don't flap your wings too soon!
Satan's gonna try to serenade you,
And you've gotta learn to recognise his tune!
Son, your ma won't have to tell you,
It'll strike a mighty chord,
You'll hear music by the angels and lyrics by The Lord!"

Satan's gonna try to serenade you,
And you've gotta learn to recognise his tune!
Son, your ma won't have to tell you,
It'll strike a mighty chord,
You'll hear music by the angels and lyrics by The Lord!"
