JUST LIKE WE USED TO DO

Looks so peaceful there upon thy grave 
where once these flowers never bloomed 
I think the concrete angel on your stone 
is lipping me a truth I've never known 

Up there in heaven where you are 
I could not rest like you my love 
These hands were made for toiling darlin' 
AND this heart was made for loving you, alone 

Looks so calm here yet a storm is brewing 
shackling my thoughts and rendering me sad
I think its almost time for God to close the gate 
but if I hurry, maybe I can snatch you back to life ;

Up there where doves cry and Angels sigh 
where flowers bloom at will on Abba's yonder sill 
There is a bench for two engraved by you,   
some day we'll sit there just like we used to do.
