Lyrics


Well, here we are

Our final meeting

Our final meeting

If you told me it would end like this

If you told me it would end like this

I wouldn't have believed

I wouldn't have believed

I'd be standing here above you

I'd be standing here above you

Crying tears upon your face

Crying tears upon your face

Imagining your eyes would open

Imagining your eyes would open

If only I'd say the right thing

If only I'd say the right thing

If I could say the right thing

If I could say the right thing

And it looks just like you are sleeping

And it looks just like you are sleeping

So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day

So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day

And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming

And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming

I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away

I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away

So it's time to let you go

So it's time to let you go

Fly away now and be free

Fly away now and be free

And in your never-ending slumber

And in your never-ending slumber

Will you please save a dream for me

Will you please save a dream for me

And I will gently place this flower

And I will gently place this flower

In your hand before I leave

In your hand before I leave

They say you cannot take it with you

They say you cannot take it with you

But this could be the one thing

But this could be the one thing

This love could be the one thing

This love could be the one thing

And it looks just like you are sleeping

And it looks just like you are sleeping

So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day

So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day

And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming

And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming

I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away

I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away

Carried you away

Carried you away

And it looks just like you are sleeping

And it looks just like you are sleeping

So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day

So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day

And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming

And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming

I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
