Play Me The Waltz Of The Angels Lyrics - Derailers

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"
