Verse 1

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

 And wasn't it you who told me:

  Angels fly in the air tonight

  Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?

  And 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 gonna be a doctor, movie star

A poet at a Nobel seminar

 I hope the world never tore that out of you

Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day

Yeah wasn't it you who told me:

  Angels fly in the air tonight

  Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?

  And stars collide and the air's alive

  Or was it just like those promises that you made

  On our last night?

  And what ever happened to the things you loved

  And the songs we played, and the indian days

  Whatever happened to the things you gave away?

  Like Harold and Maude singing

  Like Harold and Maude singing

I was waving as you drove away

The sunlight was falling

 You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane

  Angels fly in the air tonight

  Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?

  And stars collide and the air's alive

  Or was it just like those promises that you made

  On our last night?

  On our last night?

  On our last night?
