Derailers - Play Me The Waltz Of The Angels Lyrics

Dennis Knudson/Rory Lee

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

Chorus:
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."

Repeat Chorus

"Let me dance with my angel again."
