Peter Halperin - Till She Believes Lyrics

I awoke that night in the bed where I was dying
Saw a flash of light pierce the veil of grey
Oh, my pain was gone, my spirit started flying
I knew I'd never see another day

Oh, my wife stood by and I heard her crying
I tried to speak cause I had so much to say
But my voice was still, there was no use in trying
I knew I'd have to find some other way

I said, Lord, hear my prayer, now that I know you are here
See how she cries, show her this heavenly light
Cause I just can't leave, not till she believes

As I looked below at the scene that was unfolding
I saw a stranger come and cover up my face
Then everybody left to where they must be going
Except my darling who couldn't leave that place

I said, Lord, hear my prayer, now that I know you are here
See how she cries, show her this heavenly light
Cause I just can't leave, not till she believes

She pulled back the sheet and she said, I know you hear me now
You hear me when I say, I miss you so
But now I know you're taking that last passage
I'll kiss you one more time and let you go

And she said, Lord, hear my prayer, now that I know you are here
Keep him beside you, safe in this heavenly light

And tell him he can't leave, tell him I believe
Cause I could not leave, not till she believes
