How Do You Speak to An Angel
Dean Martin · Simply Dean Martin [2010]
Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin
How do you speak to an angel
I'm completely in the dark
When you know that you've just met an angel
Is there a proper remark
We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud
We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud

The song reflects the romantic and melancholic themes often explored in Martin's discography, blending jazz influences with pop sensibilities. As part of his extensive catalog of love songs, the recording captures the essence of the lounge era, where Martin's cool demeanor and impeccable timing created an enduring legacy. The composition serves as a testament to his ability to transform simple melodies into memorable performances that continue to resonate with audiences decades later.
