Lyrics

I have a wife, I haven't seen Since lilacs bloomed in St. Hippolyte She always wears them, in her hair She lets them fall down everywhere I can see her in the glowing light Dressing without a sound I promised I'd be home alright But I gotta lay this body down So take this letter to my wife And tell her that I loved my life And tell my boys, the Lord, He found me When I say their names out loud, they're all around me And tell them not to cry at all Heaven, is wherever I fall I have a girl, I think I love her I should've told her, instead I told her mother I gave her chocolates, I bought a ring But I never told her anything But I can see her in every detail now Turning in my mind I barely knew that girl at all But I will love her 'til the end of time So take this letter to my girl Tell her that I saw the whole world Say that right before I fell I said her name out loud, 'Isabelle' Tell her not to cry at all Heaven is wherever I fall I have a father, he isn't well Thinks he might be going to Hell He was a sinner, he liked to fight So I don't know, he might be right I can see him every Sunday morning Diving into the fray He wasn't one of God's best men But I loved him anyway So take this letter to him, please And tell him I can't wait to see him I went in first, I rang the bell I called his name out loud and I gave them Hell So tell him not to cry at all Heaven is wherever I fall Tell 'em not to cry at all Heaven, is wherever I fall Tell 'em not to cry at all Heaven, is wherever I fall
