[Verse 1: Emmylou Harris]
Angel eyes, angel eyes
The ways of the world are feeble
Don't give up on simple people
Angel eyes, stun those nights
The blues you can live without
It's not what your song's about

[Chorus: Emmylou Harris & Willie Nelson]
Angel eyes, angel eyes
Tell me what would we do without
The light from angel eyes?

[Verse 2: Willie Nelson, both]
You can move the hearts of men
Just with a phrase you're turning
Since hearts ever after burning
Bear with love, bear so alone
Thin lines you've been living on
Are so close to the danger zone

[Chorus: Emmylou Harris & Willie Nelson]
Angel eyes, angel eyes
Tell me what would we do without
The light from angel eyes?
