I was sitting on the edge of his bed |
|
Staring at the headlines on the paper |
|
He said, 'look at poor gene kelly |
|
I guess he won't be singing in the rain.' |
|
You can take away my heroes |
|
Can you take away my pain |
|
Take away my pain |
|
Leave the cold outside |
|
Please don't let it rain |
|
Don't stumble on my pride |
|
Take away my pain |
|
I'm not frightened anymore |
|
Just stay with me tonight |
|
I'm tired of this fight |
|
Soon i'll be knocking at your door |
|
She was standing by the edge of his bed |
|
Staring at the message on their faces |
|
He said, 'what else can you do, babe? |
|
I guess i won't be coming home again.' |
|
They just took away all my promises |
|
Make them take away my pain |
|
Take away my pain |
|
Leave the cold outside |
|
Please don't let it rain |
|
Don't stumble on my pride |
|
Take away my pain |
|
I'm not frightened anymore |
|
Just stay with me tonight |
|
I'm tired of this fight |
|
Soon i'll be knocking at your door |
|
His final scene |
|
The actor bows |
|
And all those years |
|
Are gone somehow |
|
The crowd applauds |
|
The curtain falls |
|
There'll be no encore after all |
|
I was sitting on the edge of my bed |
|
Staring at the paper through my tears |
|
It read, 'say goodbye to jesus' |
|
The world he left will never be the same |
|
You took away my hero |
|
Will you take away my pain |
|
Take away my pain |
|
Let the cold inside |
|
It's time to let it rain |
|
There's nothing left to hide |
|
Take away my pain |
|
I'm not frightened anymore |
|
I'm learning to survive |
|
Without you in my life |
|
Til you come knocking at my door... |
