Gettin' ready to Breathe

She gave him her ring It hadn't been off for 52 years Slipped it into his shirt pocket He couldn't hold back his tears She said I know this feels like the end And you're afraid But we're gonna be together again someday I'm getting ready to breathe Just like a baby's first moment I'm getting ready to see The place I've been dreaming of so long of going When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there So don't cry for me, I'm getting ready to breathe Now I'll get to know what gold feels like under my feet I'll see my brother Joe, he's been waiting since I was 16 It's hard to believe it now 'Cause this body shows every mile But I'm 'bout to sing with an angel I'm gonna run like a child I'm getting ready to breathe Just like a baby's first moment I'm getting ready to see The place I've been dreaming of so long of going When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there So don't cry for me, I'm getting ready to breathe I'm getting ready to breathe Just like a baby's first moment Getting ready to see The place I've been dreaming of so long of going When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there So don't cry for me, so don't cry for me I'm getting ready to breathe, ooh
