[Verse 1]

Stacy, I'd like to take you to a movie

In a world without a death wish

On a night under the fireworks in heaven

Oh, but Stacy, baby, you can't take me anywhere

Because I get a lot of low doubts

So just put me in the cold ground and visit


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, but what if

What if my soul was still trembling?


[Chorus]

Well, would you put your black dress on and visit my bones

And bring my football top and a scarf for the cold?

Playin' melancholy songs

That somehow made us feel a whole lot better

While I waited on the kingdom come and the trumpet blow

In the cold, hard ground with some letters you wrote

Would I get any rest from the wreck that I was with the living?

Or would you just go on?


[Verse 2]

Stacy, I never thought I'd miss the small talk

I never knew the gift the day was

I just used to hear the time clock, whistle stop

Sleep and get back up again

Now Stacy, I never thought I'd miss the hard love

I wish I took the time to miss you

While we were sitting only right there under heaven


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, but what if

What if my soul was still trembling?


[Chorus]

Then would you put your black dress on and visit my bones

And bring my football top and a scarf for the cold?

Playin' melancholy songs

That somehow made us feel a whole lot better

While I waited on the kingdom come and the trumpet blow

In the cold, hard ground with some letters you wrote

Would I get any rest from the wreck that I was with the living?

Or would you just go on?


[Bridge]

Could you promise me something, if you find someone

That you'll forget me not, never feel too much

Even if they do all the things that I couldn't do for you?

And I'll promise you something, if I find someone

That I'll forget you not, never feel too much

Even if they do all the things that I couldn't do for you


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, but what if

What if your soul was still trembling?


[Chorus]

Then I would put my black suit on and visit your bones

And bring your football top and a play that you wrote

And an English song by a band that you love

Here comes the sun, little darling

And the kingdom come and the trumpet blow

In the cold, hard ground there's some letters you wrote

Would you get any rest from the wreck that I was with the living?

Or would you just go on?


[Chorus]

Would you put your black dress on and visit my bones?

And bring my Football top and a scarf for the cold

Please forget me not

Playin' melancholy songs

That somehow made us feel a whole lot better

And would you just go on?

While I waited on the kingdom come and the trumpet blow

In the cold, hard ground there's some letters you wrote

Please forget me not

Would I get any rest from the wreck that I was with the living?
