When I die
You'll awake in the dead of night
To see me floating over your bed
Dressed in white
I'll float on down across your room
Through the light that's flooding in from the hallway
To be with you
♪
On that night
I'll wipe the tears from your eyes
But my icy hands will only just freeze them
I'll apologize
For the coolness of my touch
And the creaking chains that scrape through the silence
I'll whisper quietly the songs we used to sing
Before I join the creaking sounds in your ceiling
I'm singing
Whoa, I hope
That heaven isn't too far away
Just know, my love
There's absolutely no reason to cry
If they don't open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay in between with me where one life ends...
And my second life begins?
♪
Take my hand
And I will make you smile again
As I lift you up to dance on the ceiling
Shut your eyes
And feel those stars beneath your feet
And press your ear to where my heart isn't beating
Because my ghost will disappear in the daylight (daylight)
But I'll be looking down upon you every night
You'll be alright
Whoa, I hope
That heaven isn't too far away
Just know, my love
There's absolutely no reason to cry
If they don't open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay in between with me where one life ends...
And my second life begins?
♪
If they don't open up the gates to let me in
(They will open up the gates to let you in)
Will you stay in between with me where one life ends?
(I will stay in between with you where one life ends)
When they replace my chains with wings
(Join the choir singing, hallelujah, darling)
Nothing has to end!
But whoa, I hope (Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
That heaven isn't too far away
(Too far away, my darling)
Just know, my love (Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
There's absolutely no reason to cry (Don't cry)
'Cause I'm always by your side!
