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
E B7 E
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
E B7 E
Oh but his eyes couldn't hide the tears

And I'll close my eyes and pretend

Play me the waltz of the angels

So I can dance with my angel again
