This could be the night of her life
Dancing with a smile beneath the coloured lights
Drinking till she cannot feel the scars
That blight her days and weigh heavy on her heart
This could be the dream she dared not dream
In case it turned her sigh into a scream
Working all the hours God cares to send
And still she never seems to make a dent
So many angels - all so gentle, sweet and kind
They will save us from the places which no map could help you find
They�re cold and lonely, sorry and sad
They�ll run you in circles, they�ll drive you mad
But the angels will sing of the joy to be had
This could be the night of her life
Ask her if she�s happy � well, please tell me what it�s like
The movement of the streets like a ballet
Music with no words because there�s nothing new to say
�Gone but not forgotten� is the legend etched in gold
Can she remember every drink she ever bought and sold
Can she remember waking to a sun that barely shone
Or last night�s empty promises she fell asleep upon
So many good things � doused in love and alcohol
They come at you so fast, that�s if they ever come at all
They feed your heart, they feed your soul
They pour into the big black hole
They�ll show sweet mercy and control
