Kris Kristofferson - Hall Of Angels lyrics

rate me

We stayed at the barroom till closing <br />I held down a place at his side <br />And drank to the memory that crushed him <br />A lady who'd loved him and died <br /> <br />He purely could not find a reason <br />To get it back up and go on <br />Then out of the dark came a stranger <br />Who turned us around with a song <br /> <br />He said: I know the pain that youi're feeling <br />I had a sweet little girl <br />And I loved her more than her mother <br />Or anything else in the world <br /> <br />And sure as I loved her I lost her <br />Sure as I wanted to die <br />Then I had a dream or a vision <br />Of wonder that opened my eyes <br /> <br />I dreamed of a young band of angels <br />That shone like the stars from above <br />'Cos each had a bright bruning candle <br />Except for the angel I loved <br /> <br />And I asked why their candles were burning <br />And why that hers wasn't the same <br />She said: Oh, Daddy, each time that I try to light it <br />Your tears just keep drowning the flame <br /> <br />We stared at the stranger in silence <br />His spirit was truly alive <br />If life had made his eyes glisten <br />The diamond was bright in his eye <br /> <br />'Cos everyone who ever loved him <br />Though fortune had torn them apart <br />Will live in the Hall of the Angels <br />As long as the love in his heart <br /> <br />Oh they'll live in the Hall of The Angels <br />As long as the love in your heart<br /><br />
