Earth angel, earth angel, will you be mine?
My darling dear, love you all the time.
I'm just a fool, a fool in love, with you.

Earth angel, earth angel, the one I adore,
Love you forever, and ever more.
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you.

I fell for you, and I knew,
The vision of your love, loveliness.
I hope and I pray, that some day,
I'll be the vision of your hap hapiness Oh

Earth angel earth angel, please be mine,
My darling dear, love you all the time,
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you

I fell for you, and I knew,
The vision of your lovliness.
I hope and I pray, that someday,
That I'll be the vision of your happiness.

Earth angel earth angel, please be mine,
My darling dear, love you all the time,
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
