Hall Of Angels Lyrics - Closer To The Bone - Kris Kristofferson

We stayed at the barroom till closing 

I held down a place at his side 

And drank to the memory that crushed him 

A lady who'd loved him and died 

He purely could not find a reason 

To get it back up and go on 

Then out of the dark came a stranger 

Who turned us around with a song 

He said: I know the pain that youi're feeling 

I had a sweet little girl 

And I loved her more than her mother 

Or anything else in the world

And sure as I loved her I lost her 

Sure as I wanted to die 

Then I had a dream or a vision 

Of wonder that opened my eyes 

I dreamed of a young band of angels 

That shone like the stars from above 

'Cos each had a bright bruning candle 

Except for the angel I loved 

And I asked why their candles were burning 

And why that hers wasn't the same 

She said: Oh, Daddy, each time that I try to light it 

Your tears just keep drowning the flame 

We stared at the stranger in silence 

His spirit was truly alive 

If life had made his eyes glisten 

The diamond was bright in his eye

'Cos everyone who ever loved him 

Though fortune had torn them apart 

Will live in the Hall of the Angels 

As long as the love in his heart 

Oh they'll live in the Hall of The Angels 

As long as the love in your heart
