Each night I wish to God he'd let her rest This hurts me more than any man could bear She's my angel from the west There will never be a one to take her place When you go, I will know Follow you to the stars And when the world burns apart There will be a place for your car I'd give you everything If only I'd have known you'd take it But you don't 'cause you're you It's why I'll always love you My pearl of the stars The pill she takes The pain with which she drowns Our baby sleeps next door She's new in town I'll tell her how wonderful you were I'll remember Everything you were to me When you go, I will know Follow you to the stars And when the world burns apart There will be a place for your car I'd give you everything If only I'd have known you'd take it But you don't 'cause you're you It's why I'll always love you My pearl of the stars When you go, I will know Follow you to the stars And when the world burns apart There will be a place for your car I'd give you everything If only I'd have known you'd take it But you don't 'cause you're you It's why I'll always love you When you go, I will know Follow you to the stars And when the world burns apart There will be a place for your car I'd give you everything If only I'd have known you'd take it But you don't 'cause you're you It's why I'll always love you My pearl of the stars
