Play Me the Waltz of the Angels lyrics

I 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, 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 playing the night that I met her

And it was playing 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'll 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"
