As I Stand Before The Coffin

歌詞

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 '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 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 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 While you were thinking I'll be gone too soon But you can't stop the angels, no From saying when you're due 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 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
