Lyrics

GONE TO HEAVEN

She was everything I’d dearly dreamed of,
She meant the world to me.
We used to laugh and sing near the stream of
Our city by the sea.
Happily, we played and prayed together,
Together we’d grow old,
But one quick extreme change in the weather
Left her out in the cold;
Left me out in the cold;
Left us both in the cold.
A game show’s on at seven,
I know my TV GUIDE well.
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,
My life’s been going to Hell.
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,
My life’s been going to Hell.

Friends and family appear with helping hands,
Bible verses to read.
They water my heart seared by desert sands,
Send nurses when I bleed.
They stand beside me, my forever friends,
This band of Godly men.
They tell me it all works out in the end,
But I can’t wait till then;
No, I can’t wait till then;
I can’t wait until then.

There it goes, that old church bell,
It’s a sound I know so well.
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,
My life’s been going to Hell.
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,
My life’s been going to Hell.

Time passes by, takes a turn for the worst,
I welcome the dark night.
The same cruel blackness that I once had cursed
Is now a welcome sight.
My forever friends have long since vanished;
I’m left with thoughts of you.
I stand here alone, beaten and banished,
Only sorrow is true;
Lonely sorrow is true;
Only sorrow stands true.


Nothing more or less to tell;
I’m really not doing well.
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,
My life’s been going to Hell.
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,
My life’s been going to Hell.
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,
My life’s been going to Hell.
