Lyrics

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 could have been the medicine There you are lying in the bed again Either way I'll cry with the rest of them My father told me, son It's not his fault he doesn't know your face You're not the only one Although my Grandma used to say That he used to sing Darlin' hold me in your arms The way you did last night And we'll lie inside A little while here oh I could look into your eyes Until the sun comes up And we're wrapped In light and life and love Put your open lips on mine And slowly let them shut For they're designed to be together oh With your body next to mine Our hearts will beat as one And we set alight We're afire love Things were all good yesterday Then the devil took your breath away Now we're 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 6 years old I remember when My father told me, son It's not his fault he doesn't know your face You're not the only one Although my Grandma used to say That he used to sing Darlin' hold me in your arms The way you did last night And we'll lie inside A little while here oh I could look into your eyes Until the sun comes up And we're wrapped In light and life and love Put your open lips on mine And slowly let them shut For they're designed to be together oh With your body next to mine Our hearts will beat as one And we're set alight We're afire love To the love, the love, the love, the love My father and all of my family Rise from the seats to sing Hallelujah And my mother and all of my family Rise from their seats to say hallelujah And my brother and all of my family Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah My father and all of my family Rise from the seats to sing Hallelujah To the love, the love, the love, the love To the love, the love, the love, the love To the love, the love, the love, the love
