One day I was happy,

Before I knew it, life was a mess
And all of a sudden
I felt a noose around my neck.

My Lord thy God,
He lifted me up,
And now I look down,
Down upon you, my love.

You look so beautiful,
Living your life,
Living in peace,
Finally out of strife.

From above, I watch you smile,
From above, I watch you cry,
I know that life is hard,
But darling, you always shine.

I know you miss me ,
I know you think of what we shared,
If only when I was living,
You had shown how much you cared.

Maybe if I had known,
I wouldn’t of done what I did,
Maybe you could’ve  saved me,
You could’ve kissed my lips.

And that’s how we’d stay,
Together at last,
You belonged with me,
My future, present, and past.

But there is nothing I can do,
Nothing to do but wait,
Until the day you come to join me,
Babe please! Don’t be late!

You can see me in the sun,
You can hear me in the rain,
“Darling, come to me,
   I want to touch your face.”


There’s only one thing to do,
The only thing you can think of,
So you take the tie of a shoe,
You make a loop,
You tie a noose..

You can hear me calling,
“Come, baby,
    I’m just beyond the horizon.”

You can feel the falling,
You can almost feel me there..
“Don’t look down baby,
    Don’t be scared.”
