Angel, Angelina
George Strait · Greatest Collection [Platinum Disc] [2005]
Chorus:
Angel, oh, my angel, Angelina
Heaven must be wonderin' where you are
Mornin' finds me prayin', "Please let me keep her."
Each night finds me wishin' on the star
That always, always Angelina
You'll be stayin' right here in my arms.
Sweetest of the sweet those ruby lips
No other has that touch, ooh those finger tips
Bluest of the blue those sparklin' eyes
Like hand in glove we fit
You know you're just my size
You and all your special ways and needs.
Oh, I love you Angelina.
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:

Each night finds me wishin' on the star
That always, always Angelina
You'll be stayin' right here in my arms.
You'll be stayin' right here in my arms...
Angel, Angelina
