Oh Angela

[Intro – piano, upright bass, brushed drums]

(spoken softly)
Funny how some nights…
stay with you forever.

[Verse 1]
Oh Angela…

I still remember that Tuesday night
The band was playing, the club was alive
I saw you standing across from the bar
And somehow I knew I had to ask you to dance

I walked over with a little doubt
Expecting a smile and a polite way out
But you took my hand as we stepped on to the floor
and danced like we’d been in love for years.

[Chorus]
Oh Angela…

What a night we had
No promises made
No dreams we had to chase

Just two people sharing a moment
Knowing moments don’t always stay

[Verse 2]
Then somewhere between those songs we danced
You felt you had to tell me about your plans
Two weeks from then you’d say “I do”
And begin the life waiting for you

I bought you a rose and wished you well
and the man who’d soon marry this woman I’ve just met
And for a little while we both understood
This beautiful night together, was all we’d get.

[Chorus]
Oh Angela…

What a night we had
With you in my arms
No need to pretend..

Time for last call, as our slow song faded
We both knew our story would end.

[Verse 3]
The following Tuesday, found me back at the club
and to my surprise, you walked in with your friends.
Wearing that same yellow dress, I remembered so well
I thought I’d never see you again

Searching around the club, your eyes locked into mine
A breathless smile that touched my heart
And for one more night the music played
Before reality asked us once again to part.

[Bridge]
We didn’t think of tomorrow
We held on tightly to the night
No regrets, no sorrow
We were happy just to have the time

[Final Chorus]

Oh Angela…

After all these years
I still remember your name

You promised you’d always remember…
I promised the same.

[Outro]
Oh Angela…

[Spoken]
I’ll never forget you.
