You've been my bright baby girl for all of your days
And what feels like all of mine
But all I've got now is whiskey and old sitcoms
To drown the memory of your decline
I drove a hundred thousand miles with you by my side
We saw all there was to see
But when I come home and you're not at the door
Well that's a brand new place for me
You came out of your cloud to give me kisses
For the first time in a very long time
Just before I sent you off
To brighter clouds than mine
I told you I loved you till your very last breath
And how good you were to me
Now that your soulful brown eyes are closed
Mine can hardly see
I hope like hell that I was good enough to you
Please know that I gave it my all
You'll have to sleep in your own bed but it's forever next to mine
Just on the other side of that wall
I have oceans and oceans of photos
You always were the prettiest sight
I've got your flowers growing outside my window
Brown eyed bees are buzzing with your light
The bees are all buzzing
The trumpets are coming
To celebrate your new life with them
They'll all be so happy to see you
When you come marching in
