Vivian Lyrics
Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian
Heaven is too cold without you
Well, I'll stay right here above the clouds
Waiting to see heaven with you
Well, I'll fall for each breath as long as I could
Fighting with nothing, no
The last breath I took blew through the wind
And into nothing at all
Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian
Heaven is too cold without you
Well, I'll stay right here below the clouds
Waiting to see heaven with you
Well, I know it's hard to deal with the pain
You yell from your liver giving out
Well, just close your eyes and think of me
Oh, Jerry's not leaving this gal
Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian
Heaven is too cold without you
Well, I'll stay right here above your house
Waiting to see heaven with you
Oh, your firey red hair and your warm brown eyes
You remember the day that we wed?
Forever our souls are intertwined
Not separate even in death
Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian
Heaven ain't nothing without you
Well, I'll stay right here beside your bed
Waiting to see heaven with you
Waiting to see heaven with you
Waiting to see heaven with you
