Only Heaven Knows

Go ahead and leave the earth, Tom You left us when it was your time I wanted to write a goodbye song Bet that’s not what you had in mind You told me you were lonely most of the time Never at work, but always at home At work you had friends who saw you shine At home you were often alone Longing to end the emptiness in your soul And you will now, you will now Now that you’re not alone, Tom Walk lightly towards heaven Float lightly on a cloud You are the one who is chosen Know you let no one down God says he was looking for someone Who would promise to do their part Someone who would toast to the good times Someone who would feel with their heart Someone who will sing James Brown tunes And, that’s you, Tom That’s all you
