Gene Pitney Blue Angel Lyrics

Blue Angel Lyrics

When we were kids I was your friend watching you grow 
You didn`t get much of the love most of us know 
Ohh oh blue angel I can`t put you down 
I should know better I grew up in your part of town 
And I can bless my good fortune I came through it fine 
Ohh oh blue angel you will always be a good old friend of mine 
 
How many years since you took off with your guitar 
Joining a band and singing sad songs round the bar 
Ohh oh blue angel guess I should have known 
That`s not a good life for a girl far away from home 
When you were sad, poor and lonely too proud to let on 
Ohh oh blue angel all your better times just never came along 
 
Now the gentlemen of Soho buy your kindness and your smile 
And your flesh is just a souvenir of London for a while 
But I know what keeps you going what you spend your money on 
Some pusher man from hell has got you hooked on all that`s wrong 
And a pretty dress don`t cover up your eyes 
And I won`t forget the emptiness I found in your disguise 
 
Lalalala… 
 
(fading) 
Ohh oh blue angel I can`t put you down 
I should know better I grew up in your part of town
