Lyrics
I played a party last night for some old folks
They were dancin’ and smilin’ at me
‘cept this old man alone at a table….. as if there’s someplace that he’d rather be
So I said, “sir, can I play sometin’ for you, something special that you like to hear”
When he looked up at me he was smiling
Oh but his eyes, they couldn’t hide the tears
He said, “Play me the Waltz of the Angels
And I’ll close my eyes and pretend
Play me the Waltz of the Angels
So I can dance with my angel again”
He said, “Yes, that’s the song I remember
That’s the one that she loved the best
It was playin’ the night that I met her
And It was playin’ when we laid her to rest”
Play me the Waltz of the Angels
And I’ll close my eyes and pretend
Play me the Waltz of the Angels
So I can dance with my angel again
Play me the Waltz of the Angels
And I can close my eyes and pretend
Play me the Waltz of the Angels
So I can dance with my angel again
Let me dance with my angel again
