The angels listened in, When they heard me praying. The angels listened in, When they heard me saying. Please send me some one to love, Send the one I'm thinking of, My darling, the angels sent you.
The angels listened in, When they heard me crying. The angels listened in, There's no denying. They sent one with lovely charms, One who really thrills my arms, My darling, the angels sent you.
I searched everywhere, Just to find someone who cares. They came down to interrupt, Just as I had given up.
The angels listened in, And brought you near me. The angels listened in, I love them dearly.
They gave me the whole wide world, Wrapped up in one little girl, My darling, when the angels sent you.
