From the recording THE CROP
Lyrics
GONE TO HEAVEN<br />
<br />
She was everything I’d dearly dreamed of,<br />
She meant the world to me.<br />
We used to laugh and sing near the stream of<br />
Our city by the sea.<br />
Happily, we played and prayed together,<br />
Together we’d grow old,<br />
But one quick extreme change in the weather<br />
Left her out in the cold;<br />
Left me out in the cold;<br />
Left us both in the cold.<br />
<br />
A game show’s on at seven,<br />
I know my TV GUIDE® well.<br />
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,<br />
My life’s been going to Hell.<br />
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,<br />
My life’s been going to Hell.<br />
<br />
Friends and family appear with helping hands,<br />
Bible verses to read.<br />
They water my heart seared by desert sands,<br />
Send nurses when I bleed.<br />
They stand beside me, my forever friends,<br />
This band of Godly men.<br />
They tell me it all works out in the end,<br />
But I can’t wait till then;<br />
No, I can’t wait till then;<br />
I can’t wait until then.<br />
<br />
There it goes, that old church bell,<br />
It’s a sound I know so well.<br />
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,<br />
My life’s been going to Hell.<br />
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,<br />
My life’s been going to Hell.<br />
<br />
Time passes by, takes a turn for the worst,<br />
I welcome the dark night.<br />
The same cruel blackness that I once had cursed<br />
Is now a blessed sight.<br />
My forever friends have long since vanished;<br />
I’m left with thoughts of you.<br />
I stand here alone, beaten and banished,<br />
Only sorrow is true;<br />
Lonely sorrow is true;<br />
Only sorrow stands true.<br />
<br />
Nothing more or less to tell;<br />
I’m really not doing well.<br />
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,<br />
My life’s been going to Hell.<br />
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,<br />
My life’s been going to Hell.<br />
Since my love’s gone to Heaven,<br />
My life’s been going to Hell.<br />
<br />
