Angels Dancing - Melissa Manchester

I see her everyday at this coffee place

The weird old lady everybody called Pearl

Cause she was always sitting by herself and knitting

A big enough comforter to cover the world.

So one day I decided I’d buy her a cup

She didn’t notice me as I came walking up

Her finger to her lips, I heard her softly say,

'Shhh!

Be careful or you’ll scare them away'.

There are Angels, Angels dancing

Dancing on the head of a pin.

If you come closer you can see them.

Spin.

And maybe this is Heaven, and my suffering days are through.

There are Angels, Angels dancing

Can you see them, too?

What was I to say, couldn’t just turn away

Even if she’s crazy, what harm could it do?

So I came close enough to pull up a chair

Her sparkling eyes were saying,

Come they’re right over there.

Was it a trick of the light?

Dust in the morning sun?

It sure looked like they were havin' some fun.

There are Angels, Angels dancing

Dancing on the head of a pin.

If you look closer, you can see them.

Spin.

And maybe, this is Heaven, and my suffering days are through.

There are Angels, Angels dancing

Can you see them, too?

INSTRUMENTAL

I never saw her again

It’s like she disappeared

And when I ask around

Nobody knows her here.

Was it just a dream

Or just too much caffeine?

Guess she finished mending her broken wing.

There are Angels, Angels dancing,

Dancing on the head of a pin.

If you look close you can see them.

Spin.

And I know this is Heaven,

And my suffering days are through.

There are Angels, Angels dancing

You can see them, too.

Angels dancing.

You can see them, too.
