I'll Meet You In The Sky

Never again will I see you playing with the kids in my backyard
Some little voice was always telling you that you had to be a superstar
You were always so afraid of flying, you silly boy (silly boy)
Didn't anyone ever tell you that you never know when you're gonna die?

Now I'll meet you in the sky
I'll meet you in the sky
I'll meet you in the sky
Sometime, sometime

I remember the day you told me that you had better places to be
You drove your chariot over the ocean until you spotted that bend in the sea
"This is my cue, my friends, support me and carry on"
How were we supposed to know as we stood in your wake
That you were really gone?

I'll meet you in the sky
I'll meet you in the sky
Sometime, sometime

They hung your portrait where all could see it
They hung it so high
Now me and the kids spend all of our nights connecting the dots in the sky
But what are we for if not for this? I've said that so many times before
You can't always say goodbye with a kiss, but I'd have kissed you
I wish I'd kissed you once more

I'll meet you in the sky
I'll meet you in the sky
I'll meet you in the sky
I'll meet you in the sky
Sometime, sometime, sometime, sometime

I'll meet you in the sky
