Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I was half asleep when I heard the news, sad words on the phone
I just couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe she's gone
I tried to make some sense of it, but sense I could not make
How a girl like her could go like that, it must be some mistake
[Verse 2]
I know her since forever, as far back as I go
She always had an answer for the things I didn't know
She never hurt anybody, never did them wrong
She walked to the tune of life teaching everyone the song
[Chorus]
Now Emily's in Heaven, but I'm awake in bed
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took me instead
But I guess the good die young and life just isn't fair
But Emily's in Heaven she'll be waiting for me there
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Eleven different doctors, but not one had a clue
They rushed her through emergency but there was nothing they could do
They said she had a weak heart, she'd always been that way
I said she just gave too much of it away
[Chorus]
Now Emily's in Heaven and I'm awake in bed
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took me instead
But I guess the good die young and life just isn't fair
Ah, but Emily's in Heaven she'll be waiting for me there
[Interlude]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
We laid her down for peaceful sleep, time was standing still
Everybody said a prayer on top of moonlight hill
I said goodbye with a rose, how she loved them so
Then I turned away, tried not to cry and did my best to go
[Chorus]
Now Emily's in Heaven, but I'm awake in bed
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took me instead
But I guess the good die young and life just isn't fair
Ah, but Emily's in Heaven she'll be waiting for me there
[Outro]
