|
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette |
|
She broke his heart |
|
He spent his whole life trying to forget |
|
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time |
|
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind |
|
Until the night |
|
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger |
|
And finally blew away her memory |
|
Life is short but this time it was bigger |
|
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees |
|
We found him with his face down in the pillow |
|
With a note that said I'll love her 'till I die |
|
And when we buried him beneath the willow |
|
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby |
|
(Sing Lullaby) |
|
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself |
|
For years and years |
|
She tried to hide the whiskey on her breath |
|
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time |
|
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind |
|
Until the night |
|
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger |
|
And finally blew away his memory |
|
Life is short but this time it was bigger |
|
Then the strength she had to get up off her knees |
|
They found her with her face down in the pillow |
|
Clinging to his picture for dear life |
|
They laid her next to him beneath the willow |
|
And the angels sang a whiskey lullaby |
|
(Sing Lullaby) |
|
And the angels sang a whiskey lullaby |
