Has it been easy for you? I would put my arms out open wide This time, and savour our goodbyes We could go dancing slowly through the street with aching feet I stop only to wipe the ice cream sundae dripping down your cheek She frowns, cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now With clouds beneath your head I lay you softly down to rest We could wake up swimming somewhere In the sunshine with our closest friends And now I know the way that your old smile decays It still breaks my heart to tell you That I couldn't bring myself to stay around Cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now In heaven now In heaven now Things have changed Like the photos you've been keeping I'm too torn to fit the frames So I'll stay, if I may But we thought we'd never see the sun again after the January rain Now it all is gone It echoes in the evening sun And I will hold my hands up Cause I am still the only one Who ever understands How it slips like honey through your hands And I will be there with an armchair When you simply cannot stand around Cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now In heaven now In heaven now In heaven now Cause it sounds like rock and roll in heaven now
