Derailers - Play Me The Waltz Of The Angels lyrics

Played a party last night for some old folks They were dancing and smiling 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 something for you Something special that you'd like to hear" When he looked up at me, he was smiling Oh, but his eyes 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 Thats' the one that she loved the best It was playing the night that I met her And it was playing when we laid her to rest"
