Memphis

[Verse 1]
You breathing into my mouth
I'll take it, I'll take it for you
You wanna sing? Then sing it through me
You got something left to say

[Verse 2]
Untimely, you were taken away
Unlikely, out of time
When you still got so much to say
I'll write it; a song for you

[Chorus]
But oh, what a way to go
So peaceful, you're smiling
Oh, what a way to go
I'm with you, I'm singing

[Verse 3]
You said there's a special place
And it's scaring the shit out of me
In Memphis on Valentine's day
You wrote it in a letter to me

[Verse 4]
Well I wish I had given you more time
To say thank you, my beautiful friend
But sometimes you gotta send it away
To bring it, to bring it back again

[Chorus]
But oh, what a way to go
So peaceful, you're smiling
Oh, what a way to go
I'm with you, I'm singing

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
You'll always have open eyes
You'll always have a special place
In Memphis on Valentine's day
Die suddenly at a wonderful age

[Verse 6]
Were you ready, were you ready to go
When you still got so much to say?
Somehow I know you're driving slow
Receiving just everything

[Chorus]
But oh, what a way to go
So peaceful, you're smiling
Oh, what a way to go
I know that you're smiling

[Outro]
Oh, what a way to go
So peaceful, I'm singing
Oh, what a way to go
I know that you're smiling
You're peaceful, you're smiling
You're peaceful, you're smiling
I know that, you're smiling
You're peaceful, you're smiling
