The angels listened in (listened in)
When they heard me praying
The angels listened in (listened in)
When they heard me saying
"Please send me some one to love
Send the one I'm thinking of"
My darling, when the angels sent you

The angels listened in (listened in)
When they heard me crying
The angels listened in (listened in)
There's no denying
They sent one with lovely charms
One who really thrills my arms
My darling, when 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 (listened in)
And brought you near me
The angels listened in (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
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
