Every mother knows this, son, I have to let you go Every year we inch on by, I hope your ceilings grow All is love, but death above falls like a tonne of snow And I do hope you know Like a heart won't beat, you know I'm coming up Like a soul can't leave, you know me from above Like a heart won't beat, like a soul can't leave Like a heart won't beat Now again, my ancient friend, I steady your frame Pictures of your tender years, I swear you nevеr aged And I hold you in high regard, I think you do the samе But I do hope you know Like a heart won't beat, you know I'm coming up Like a soul can't leave, you know me from above Like a heart won't beat, like a soul can't leave Like a heart won't beat
