Paroles de As I Stand Before The Coffin

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
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 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
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
