Last Words - Acoustic Version

The night they changed the sheets
 I felt her in my dreams
 Now somebody else lies softly in her
 Place
 Her breath was cutting short
 And my tired heart was torn
 could I have done any more
 To keep her safe
 Did you know, those were the last words
 That you would say to me
 And though you didn't mean to
 You drew me to my knees
 When things slip through your fingers
 You can't go back in time
 As much as I might want to
 That power isn't mine
 If she'd come back and tell me
 I did everything right
 Even angels need to say
 Their last goodbyes
 Even angels need to say
 Their last goodbyes
 Before the lights went out
 She paused to say her prayers
 I'm so glad that I was there
 to close her eyes
 To the bright lights up above
 She said "Promise I'll wake up"
 Now I know that what I told
 Her was a lie
 Did you know, those were the last words
 That I would say to you
 Did your life flash before your eyes
 In the silence of the room
 When things slip through your fingers
 You can't go back in time
 As much as I might want to
 That power isn't mine
 If she'd come back and tell me
 I did everything right
 Even angels need to say
 Their last goodbyes
 Even angels need to say
 Their last goodbyes
 The night they changed the sheets
 I SAW you in my dreams
 I was glad to see the pain melt from your face
 If you'd come back and tell me
 I did everything right
 Even angels need to say
 Their last goodbyes
 Even angels need to say
 Their last goodbyes
