Today I walked down our old street,
Past the diner where we'd meet,
Now I dine alone in our old seats.
The cold wind blows right through my bones,
And I feel like I'm getting old,
But I wish I was getting old with you.
I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain
She laughed as we picked out our children's names
refrain:
White sparrows
Fell from heaven and carried her away.
Black arrows
Cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray.
Her clothes hang in the closet still,
The phone sits on the windowsill,
And every time it rings it gives me chills.
My heart just stopped when I was told,
Doctor, doctor, on the phone,
Said my love was never coming home.
I hold your casket gently walking to the grave
Dark clouds eclipse the sun won't shine again
refrain
They gave her one more day,
To say the words I couldn't say
I'm crying in pain...
Crying in pain...
And I'm not looking for answers
No I'm not looking for answers
But dear God why did you choose her?
refrain
They gave her one more day,
To say the words I couldn't say
I'm crying in pain...
Crying in pain...
Our love will remain...
I'm crying in pain...
