Michael

[Verse 1]

You said that you were getting better

But we both know you're skinnier than ever

And we talked all through dinner

But not about how you're gettin' sicker

[Verse 2]

When I went to pay the bill and pulled it from your hands

You laughed, all shocked, and said, "I'll get it next time"

We always think there's a next time

[Chorus]

I can see as you drive away in your

Fancy car, couldn't be further away from who you are

One last thrill, one last ride

One last wave under parking lot lights

[Verse 3]

When I got the news in Toronto

All that I wanted to do was fly home

I cried all through the summer

Didn't think I'd have to miss the funeral

[Verse 4]

When I go to lay my head and I don't find any rest

3 a.m., wide awake in a tour bus instead

We always think there's a next time

We always think there's a next time

[Chorus]

I can see as you drive away in your

Fancy car, couldn't be further away from who you are

One last thrill, one last ride

One last wave under parking lot lights

[Verse 5]

Oh, who you are is what I hold

When I miss you, I know

You live on in your daughter's smile
