It's similar to the original 1939 benny goodman version, martha tilton on vocals, in Bb

Lyrics by johnny mercer.
Both versions go to this weird break with riffs from hava nagila and can can.
It's not a bad song, but a whole lot of 1 6 2 5. The bridge is long & 5m 1 for all except the last line.

CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13

[Verse]

   CM7  Am7  Dm7        G13    CM7  Am7  Dm7
We meet,        and the angels sing.
G13        Dm7               G13         CM7   Am7 Dm7 G13
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard.
    CM7   Am7 Dm7        G13    CM7  Am7 Dm7
You speak,       and the angels sing.
G13     Dm7           G13  G7+5  CM7  Am7 FM7 G CM7
Or am I reading music into every word?

[Bridge]

Gm7           C7
Suddenly, the setting is strange.
Gm7                 C7
I can see water and moonlight beaming.
Gm7               C7
Silver waves that break on some
Gm7          C7
undiscovered shore then
Gm7         C7
Suddenly, I see it all change.
Gm7                         C7
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming.
FM7                 G13       G7+5 CM7  Am7 Dm7 G13
Through it all your face that I   adore.

[Verse]

    CM7   Am7  Dm7        G13    CM7   Am7 Dm7 G13
You smile,        and the angels sing.
                Dm7           G13           CM7   Am7 Dm7 G13
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start.
   CM7  Am7  Dm7        G13    Em7-5 Bb7 A7
We kiss,        and the angels sing.
                Dm7           Fm7-5 CM7
And leave their music ringing in my heart!
