I remember a phone call, a quarter past nine |
|
When you said, "this can't be," and you started to cry |
|
And I could tell by your actions, and words that you spoke, |
|
That you'd lost someone close, and your heart was half broken. |
|
And, oh, my God, do you do this out of love, |
|
When you hold them in your arms and you take them away from us? |
|
You left us here alone, your old house just a shell. |
|
Like a crab in the sea, you've moved on to another. |
|
Well I know a few things, like, you're terribly missed. |
|
And the whole time in the hospital, I kept thinking this: |
|
That, oh, my God, how can you do this out of love, |
|
When you hold them in your arms and you take them away from us? |
|
Well I finally broke down and started to cry. |
|
I said "Was heaven not full enough, was that your reason why?" |
|
I didn't wipe my tears, I let them dry like salt on my eyes, |
|
Because I'm all out of answers; a pillar crumbling from the inside. |
|
But I tried to be strong and be brave for you, |
|
But I'm just a man, just as torn up as you. |
|
But, I promise when you wake that everything will be fine. |
|
When you wake the next morning, your heart will beat in time, and you'll say: |
|
Oh, my God, you do this out of love, |
|
When you hold them in your arms and you take them away from us. |
|
And I hope when it's my time that you can wake me from my sleep, |
|
And say "It's time to go child," but no I won't weep |
|
I'll say, "Make sure that they know this more importantly than others, |
|
That I was a good son, husband, father, and brother." |
|
And, I want you to be there when they talk to the doctors, |
|
When they think all is lost, that you help them discover |
|
That Heaven won't be full until all of us are there, when we're all together. |
|
For now, just share with them: |
|
That, oh, my God, you do this out of love, |
|
When you hold them in your arms and you take them away from us. |
|
Just say: |
|
That, oh, my God, you do this out of love, |
|
When you hold them in your arms and you take them away, it take them away from us. |
