I'll String Along with You - Clifford Brown

All my life I’ve waited for an angel

But no angel ever came along

Then one happy afternoon I met you

And my heart began to sing a song

Somehow, I mistook you for an angel

But now I’m glad that I was wrong

(Both)

You may not be an angel

'Cause angels are so few

But until the day that one comes along

I’ll string along with you

I’m looking for an angel

To sing my love song to

And until the day that one comes along

I’ll sing my song to you

(Doris)

For every little fault that you have

Say, I’ve got three or four

(Buddy)

The human little faults that you do have

Just make me love you more

You may not be an angel

But still I’m sure you’ll do

(Both)

So until the day that one comes along

I’ll string along with you

(Doris)

For every little fault that you have

Say, I’ve got three or four

(Buddy)

The human little faults you do have

Just make me love you more

(Doris)

Because you’re such an angel

That’s why I’m sure you’ll do

So until the day that one comes along

I know just what I’ll do

(Both)

I’ll string along with you
