As we lay dying on the table I hear the beating of the surgeon's heart And ghostly whispers of the people But my eyes are holding hard to yours darling Like a sanctuary In a stained glass church Where we wanted to get married Oh I wish this didn't hurt What a terrible way to go What a beautiful way to die We were only teenagers In this crucible called life A light burst through the window Shines on those deep brown eyes And you've never looked more beautiful My heart may be fading but my mind is stuck on you What a terrible way to go What a beautiful way to die We were only teenagers In this crucible called life And we fought off every battle With our novel love held dear Oh as our final page is written There's nothing left to fear Like a sanctuary With you darling
