As I Stand Before The Coffin

[Verse 1]

As I stand before your coffin

I can't tell what I see

It looks like you from head to toe

But you refuse to breathe

The color of your skin looks like it was painted on

And I can tell you're tired

But I would kill to see you yawn

[Pre-Chorus 1]

'Cause I've been thinking

I'd hate to see you go

But you can't stop the angels, no

From taking what you owe

[Chorus]

Wait for me in heaven

I'll be just one step behind

I'll be back before you know it

I'll forget I ever cried

But I found comfort knowing I was there long before you left

But we all know thе best of stories must come to an еnd

But God, I miss you

And I'd hate to see you go

But you can't stop the angels, no

From taking what you owe

[Verse 2]

Often when I think of you, I hope I made you proud

I spent my whole life trying to be a piece of who you are

I admire you for getting up each time you earned a scar

The coldest nights you laid amongst the snow and lonely stars

[Pre-Chorus 2]

While you were thinking

I'll be gone too soon

But you can't stop the angels, no

From saying when you're due

[Chorus]

Wait for me in heaven

I'll be just one step behind

I'll be back before you know it

I'll forget I ever cried

But I found comfort knowing I was there long before you left

But we all know the best of stories must come to an end

But God, I miss you

And I'd hate to see you go

But you can't stop the angels, no

From taking what you owe

[Chorus]

Wait for me in heaven

I'll be just one step behind

I'll be back before you know it

I'll forget I ever cried

But I found comfort knowing I was there long before you left

We all know the best of stories must come to an end

But God, I miss you

And I'd hate to see you go

But you can't stop the angels, no

From taking what you owe
