I broke down the other day Like when you died on that summer day And all the sky was gray And now my hope is gone My love is singing an angel's song Hold on be strong It's hard while I'm gone You're on your own but not for long When the day comes I'm gonna take you I fell down the other day Going through your clothes trying to give them away I thought that I could see the way Cause all my dreams are there In a box in a locket at the top of the stairs Hold on be strong It's hard while I'm gone You're on your own but not for long When the day comes I'm gonna take you home A hundred shades of blue when they shine on you Make you look like a picture in a book And we carried love like a broken dove In our hands God was laughing at our plans And the water came and it carried us away Through the hills through the valleys in the rain And we went over the edge And I heard you say that you got to hold on be strong It's hard my love when I'm gone You're on your own but not for long When the day comes I'm gonna take you home
