Lyrics
Here
If you could - tell me
would you come back here and show me
how you feel, how you dream, tell me?
When angels see their heaven
Does it make them miss their friends down here?
And when they dream in heaven
Do they ever dream that they are here?
Did God say anything when he gave you those wings?
Did he teach you how to fly? Tell me?
When angels see their heaven
Does it make them miss their friends down here?
And when they dream in heaven
Do they ever dream that they are here?
Engraved so suddenly.
A still life memory.
A frequent frantic sleep that brings me back to having you with me.
Do you dream, love?
Do you dream of me?
And when I dream of you does that mean that you?re watching over me?
When angels see their heaven
Does it make them miss their friends down here?
And when they dream in heaven
Do they ever dream that they are here?
On and on and on and on?
I?ll miss you.
