Has it been easy for you?
I would put my arms out open wide
This time, and savour our goodbyes
We could go dancing slowly through the street with aching feet
I stop only to wipe the ice cream sundae dripping down your cheek
She frowns, cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now

[Instrumental]

With clouds beneath your head
I lay you softly down to rest
We could wake up swimming somewhere in the sunshine with our closest friends
And now I know the way that your old smile decays
It still breaks my heart to tell you that I couldn’t bring myself to stay around
Cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now
In heaven now
In heaven now

Things have changed
Like the photos you’ve been keeping
I’m too torn to fit the frames
So I’ll stay, if i may
But we thought we’d never see the sun again after the January rain

Now it all is gone
It echoes in the evening sun
And I will hold my hands up
Cause I am still the only one
Who ever understands
How it slips like honey through your hands
And I will be there with a lawn chair
When you simply cannot stand around
Cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now
In heaven now
In heaven now
In heaven now
Cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now
