Waltz, tape saturation, bright rhythm guitar with a soulful Motown pulse, buoyant three-beat sway, layered soul male lead with supportive backing vocals.
[Intro]
One, two, three, step on the floor
I see you smile by the door
Soft purple ribbon in your hair
I stop and look, I stop and stare
You look so light, you look so high
Just like a cloud up in the sky
[Verse 1]
The tambourine begins to ring
The horns are warm, the voices sing
You spin around, so free and sweet
You barely touch the wooden street
I hold my drink, I hold my pride
I watch you glow from the side
[Chorus]
Oh, my lavender angel, dancing away
I know you can never stay
Sweet soul rhythm, one, two, three
You were never meant for me
Still, you make my whole world bright
My pretty angel of the night
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The room is full, the lights are low
I love the way you gently glow
I do not ask to hold your hand
I just enjoy the playing band
No broken heart, no bitter tear
I am so glad that you are here
[Chorus]
Oh, my lavender angel, dancing away
I know you can never stay
Sweet soul rhythm, one, two, three
You were never meant for me
Still, you make my whole world bright
My pretty angel of the night
[Bridge]
You belong up in the blue
I am lucky seeing you
No regret and no goodbye
Just a waltz before you fly
[Chorus]
Oh, my lavender angel, dancing away
I know you can never stay
Sweet soul rhythm, one, two, three
You were never meant for me
Still, you make my whole world bright
My pretty angel of the night
[Instrumental Break]
[Final Chorus]
Oh, my lavender angel, dancing away
I know you can never stay
Sweet soul rhythm, one, two, three
You were never meant for me
Still, you make my whole world bright
My pretty angel of the night
[Outro]
One, two, three, the sweet brass plays
Lavender angel, go your ways
Keep on shining from above
With all my quiet, happy love
One, two, three, drift away
My lovely angel, dance away
