lyrics

It's all I can do to see you, it's all I can do to see you cry
But the enticing light behind me, it seems my time's in short supply
And as much as I want to stay, sweetheart, pearly gates lead me away

Do you remember Brooklyn, and all the words you heard me say
Making out in drive-in movies, and all our clothes in disarray
And every now and then you'd gnash your teeth
But it was alright with, it was alright with me

Do you remember breathing all heavy when your father died
And when I held you closely, your arms were clinging to my sides
He wants to let you know he's here
Just like me, he's been watching over you

So don't be alarmed if that cold breeze you feel at night's no longer there
Dear, I'll keep you safe, just promise me you won't miss me too long

I can't remember much now, much of my life before the light
I'll bid farewell to you, my darling, before my vision all goes white

So don't be alarmed if that cold breeze you feel at night's no longer there
Dear, I'll keep you safe, just promise me you won't miss me too...

Oh, I know it's bad, but things always do seem to fall back into place
Dear, I'll make this clear, that every time you laugh I'll sing along
