I saw that same old man in the corner at the happy days cafe
He always looked like he was waitin' on someone
He said "damn this winter is gettin' colder"
Eyes empty as he stared at the door
So I pulled up a chair
And said "hello,"
"I hope that you don't mind me askin'
Who you waitin' for"
He said "I'd lost site of who I used to be,"
"Before this emptiness washed over me"
"Then her angel eyes set my soul free"
Oh oh ah ah
It was a cold day in December when the sun hung low
She wore her life like a warm coat
On the back of the chair she was sitting in
She said her name was Sarah Jane
In that moment my life was never the same
She had a sparkle in her eyes
From some other place
The years have worn such sweet lines on her face
Perfect photograph of beauty and grace
She was a treasure placed into my hands
Don't care much for fame or circumstance
I should've told her when I had the chance
It's been a year today
Funny that you asked
Winter's getting cold
I don't know how long I'll last
Waitin' for the lady with the silver in her hair
Walk back through that door
And sit down in that chair
I have something I wanna share
Now I know why you came to me
Your angel eyes set my soul free
You cut the rope
And drowned my heart for so many years
