Things were all good yesterday
And then the devil took your memory
And if you fell to your death today
I hope that heaven is your resting place
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
But then that couldve been the medicine
And now youre lying in the bed again
Either way Ill cry with the rest of them
And my father told me, son
Its not his fault he doesnt know your face
And youre not the only one
Although my grandma used to say
That he used to say
Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And well lie in sight for a little while, he wrote
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And were wrapped in light, in life, in love
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For theyre designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
And were set alight, were afire in love
Things were all good yesterday
But then the devil took your breath away
And now were left here in the pain
Black suit, black tie, standing in the rain
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend
Came to my mind, I should paint it with a pen
Six years old, I remember when
My father told me, son
Its not his fault he doesnt know your face
And youre not the only one
Although my grandma used to say
He used to say
Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And well lie in sight for a little while, he wrote
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And were wrapped in light, in life, in love
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For theyre designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
And were set alight, were afire in love
To the love we love to love we love [x3]
And my father and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my mother and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my brother and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
(And all of my brothers and my sisters, yeah)
And my father and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
To the love we love to love we love [x3] |
