Be My Angel   (Lionel Cartwright) - STING 21702   (Uli Schingen)

 

 (Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

I can't forget the first time that I saw you
I watched your every move out on the floor
- ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE

All my friends said go ahead and ask her - SWING and PROMENADE

But me I've never done this dance before

-      And I could hear the Caller say:

 

 

 (Figure): Bow to your Partner - your Corner two - the HEADS SQUARE THRU - FOUR hands you do

All the way and do a RIGHT AND LEFT THRU - SQUARE THRU THREE QUARTERS down

So ALLEMANDE LEFT - and a RIGHT AND LEFT GRAND

When you meet your darling - give her a SWING
And you all promenade - gettin’ home with your angel tonight

-      one more time:

 

 

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

Since that night we've held on to each other
Every step we took was side by side
- ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE

With each move I made you were right with me - SWING and PROMENADE

You stayed by me through all the turns in life

 

 (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

And I need you now like I did back then
Be my guiding angel once again
- ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE
Be my angel - SWING and PROMENADE
Be my angel tonight 

 

 

 (Tag): SWING the darling ‘round - Be my angel tonight

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

I can't forget the first time that I saw you
I watched your every move out on the floor
All my friends said go ahead and ask her
But me I've never done this dance before

You took my hand led me away
I could hear the caller say

Bow to your Partner -your Corner two

Send the girls to the middle - watch 'em Star Thru
Flutter the Wheel as you reel (angel tonight)
The more that you're dancing - the better you feel
So Allemande Left - do a Right and Left Grand
When you meet your partner - give her your hand
Then you all promenade - Gettin home with your angel tonight


Since that night we've held on to each other
And every step we took was side by side
With each move I made you were right with me
You stayed by me through all the turns in life

And I'd have never made it through
This dance without you

And I need you now like I did back then
Be my guiding angel once again

Be my angel be my angel tonight (repeat, fade)
