We were standing in an empty room The moonlight was falling You were holding my hand when the car Pulled up for you And I could have spent a life with you But those days were over You were calling my name when Your face faded from view
And wasn't it you who told me The sun would always chase the day Wasn't it you who told me
Angels fly in the air tonight Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming Out on the lake Stars collide, and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night
I remember waking up with you The days doing nothing You meant more to me then Than I think you ever knew But you were going to be a doctor A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar I hope the world never tore that out of you
And wasn't it you who told me The sun would always chase the day Wasn't it you who told me
Angels fly in the air tonight Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming Out on the lake Stars collide, and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made
And what ever happened to the things you loved the songs we played On the Indian days What ever happened to the things you gave away Like 'Harold and Maude' and singing
I was waving as you drove away The sunlight was falling You were writing backwards In a dusty windowpane
Angels fly in the air tonight Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming Out on the lake Stars collide, and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night
