Intro:
And there's three
count them three
Children playing
on the beach
They were eager to learn
E D--
To be taught and to teach
Verse 1:
There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
As she watches the waves
turn white at the tip
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy,
And luckily she still can't
D D--
stand the sight of a boy
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And he's wondering what love is
And why it has to end
Chorus 1:
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing
when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
It's that moment in life
when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice
live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget
anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now
Post Chorus:
And there's three count them three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
E D--
To be taught and to teach
Verse 2:
There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
As she waits for her real
first passionate kiss
And there's Vada
She can't admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica and how
she's so pretty (And how
she's so pretty)
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
He ponders his life and
he skips his rocks
And he wonders when his
father will return
But he's not coming back
Chorus 2:
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing
when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
It's that moment in life
when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice
live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget
anything that you have heard
Interlude: x2
forget everything
And there's three count them three
Children missing on the beach
They were eager to learn
E D--
To be taught and to teach
Verse 3:
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived
passed the age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by
E D--
her ex-lover their father
She didn't even notice
or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept
her three into the ocean
Now all her advice
E D--
it seems useless
Chorus 3:
No, Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
It's that moment in life
when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice
live by every word
Love's completely real so forget
anything that you have heard
C#m F#m(hold)
And live for the moment now
