lyrics
And you have to wonder if a lifetime is enough to pass up
When I was a young girl, you were the one that was in love
But, can you blame ourselves for being so self-concious
when all I wanted was to see those cheeks peak and blush.
And maybe, it was a the only thing you could think to do
I'm singing these ghosts to sleep - I've always loved you.
But this night will not be the same as I always remember
that passion bubbling inside of you will be gone, my father.
If I'm reborn a man, could I have helped you with working
Could the words I'd say give you a substantial meaning
'Cause these stars don't have much in common with my future
All I know, is that this light, each year becomes a bit darker.
There was a black corner in my mother's bedroom that night
And these stories of me being born had become a light
A picture, a pause, a time when I was a child in your arms
If only I could be that child that you could keep from harm.
And if heaven isn't a place that opens it's doors to you
I'll gladly let you possess my heart - I'll live for two.
We both know heaven isn't a place that let's our kind in
We'll burn in our passion and declare circumstance a sin.
When I was a young girl, you were the one that was in love
But, can you blame ourselves for being so self-concious
when all I wanted was to see those cheeks peak and blush.
And maybe, it was a the only thing you could think to do
I'm singing these ghosts to sleep - I've always loved you.
But this night will not be the same as I always remember
that passion bubbling inside of you will be gone, my father.
If I'm reborn a man, could I have helped you with working
Could the words I'd say give you a substantial meaning
'Cause these stars don't have much in common with my future
All I know, is that this light, each year becomes a bit darker.
There was a black corner in my mother's bedroom that night
And these stories of me being born had become a light
A picture, a pause, a time when I was a child in your arms
If only I could be that child that you could keep from harm.
And if heaven isn't a place that opens it's doors to you
I'll gladly let you possess my heart - I'll live for two.
We both know heaven isn't a place that let's our kind in
We'll burn in our passion and declare circumstance a sin.
