ft. Intro: 2x -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: ------------ -Chorus------------ 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? ------------ -VERSE 2------------ 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: ------------ -Chorus------------ 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? ------------ -BRIDGE------------ 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 <u>A</u> <u>Em</u> <u>G</u> <u>D</u> ------------ -VERSE 3------------ I was waving as you drove away The sunlight was falling You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane ------------ -Chorus------------ 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? ------------

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des souvenirs d'un amour passé, ancré dans des moments de tendresse partagés. On ressent la mélancolie de ces instants perdus, où l'un des protagonistes se remémore des promesses et des rêves. Il y a une nostalgie palpable pour des promesses de vie qui semblaient possibles, mais qui sont désormais hors de portée. Des images de l'enfance et des ambitions sont mélangées à des souvenirs de douceur, révélant un contraste entre les rêves de gloire et la réalité de la séparation. Au final, tout cela se déroule sous un ciel étoilé, vibrant d'une poésie délicate, où le passé et le présent s'entrelacent dans un dernier adieu.
