Nan's Song

You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye, the Lord came and asked you to leave
You went to a better place but he stole you away from meAnd now, she lives in heaven but I know they let her out
To take care of me there's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence, my fear, she is near
Bringing heaven down hereI miss your love, I miss your touch
But I'm feeling you every day
And I can almost hear you say
You've come a long way babyAnd now, you live in heaven but I know they let you out
To take care of me there's a strange kind of light
In my bedroom tonight
Pray silence, my fear, she is near
Bringing heaven down hereYou taught me kings and queens while stroking my hair
In my darkest hour, I know you are there
Kneeling down beside me
Whispering my prayerYes, there's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence, my fear, she is near
Bringing heaven down hereThe next time that we meet
I will bow at her feet
And say, wasn't life sweet
Then we'll prepare to take heaven down there
