Things were all good yesterday
And then the devil took your memory
And if you fell to your death today
I hope that heaven is your resting place
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
But then that could have been the medicine
And now you're lying in the bed again
Either way, I'll cry with the rest of them
My father told me, son
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
And you're not the only one
Although, my grandma used to say
He used to sing
Darling, hold me in your arms
The way you did last night
And we'll lie inside
For a little while here, oh
I could look into your eyes
Until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light and life and love
Put your open lips on mine
And slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine
Our hearts will beat as one
And we set alight
We're afire love
Love, love
And things were all good yesterday
Then the devil took your breath away
Now we're left here in the pain
Black suit, black tie standing in the rain
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend
Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen
Six years old I remember when
My father told me, son
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
And you're not the only one
Although, my grandma used to say
He used to sing
Darling, hold me in your arms
The way you did last night
And we'll lie inside
For a little while here, oh
I could look into your eyes
Until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light and life and love
Put your open lips on mine
And slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine
Our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight
We're afire love
Love, love
See the love, the love, the love, the love
See the love, the love, the love, the love
See the love, the love, the love, the love
And my father and all of my family
Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my mother and all of my family
Rise from their seats to say hallelujah
And my brother and all of my family
Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And all my brothers and my sisters, yeah, ah
And my father and all of my family
Rise from their seats to say hallelujah
To the love, the love, the love, the love
To the love, the love, the love, the love
To the love, the love, the love, the love
