"Angel Eyes" by The Jeff Healey Band

Acoustic Guitar Cover by Jeremy Howie
Featuring @davebeeglemusic8223 (rhythm guitar/sound production)
Thank you @willock6207 (Video production)


This song and video is a gift to and dedicated to my love Tiffany. Awhile ago we decided this was our song. It was originally a Christmas gift/surprise and due to illness it got put off. I needed the extra time to make it what it is. I love you babe and hope you like it and feel the dedication and emotion I put into it to make you feel special and loved. Without you as inspiration I'm not sure I would have been able to complete it ❤️❤️


The song was a big undertaking for me as a musician and especially a guitarist. I have a LOT of time and reps into this and thanks to Dave for the help putting it together and really hone it. I really grew as a guitar player and getting the solo at the end was especially challenging.


Thank you Dave and Alex for making this first real music video exceptional. You are both rock stars.


This cover is derived from a live version Jeff Healey performed in the UK in the mid 90s (https://youtu.be/dmdykSKMJ_s).


I hope everyone enjoys it and it brings back some memories for you from the late 80's and early 90's 😊

Is this song really 30+ years old? What memories does it bring back for you?

"Angel Eyes"
Written by: Fred Koller andJohn Robert Hiatt
Made famous by: The Jeff Healey Band


Girl, you're looking fine tonight
And every guy has got you in his sight
What you're doing with a clown like me
Is surely one of life's little mysteries


So tonight I'll ask the stars above
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?


Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance
Never even got one second glance
Across the crowded room was close enough
I could look but I could never touch


So tonight I'll ask, the stars above
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?


Don't anybody wake me
If it's just a dream
Cause she's the best thing
That's ever happened to me


All you fellows
You can look all you like
But this girl you see
She's leaving here with me tonight


There's just one more thing that I need to know
If this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be something only you can see
Cause girl I feel it when you look at me


So tonight I'll ask the stars above
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
To turn your angel eyes my way?
