White Sparrows

Today I walked down our old street
 Past the diner where we'd meet
 Now, I dine alone in our old seats
 The cold wind blows right through my bones
 And I feel like I'm getting old
 But I wish I was getting old with you
 I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain
 She laughed as we picked out our children's names
 White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
 Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray
 ♪
 Her clothes hang in the closet still
 The phone sits on the windowsill
 And every time it rings, it gives me chills
 My heart just stopped when I was told
 Doctor, doctor on the phone
 Said my love was never coming home
 I hold your casket, gently walking to the grave
 Dark clouds eclipse, the sun won't shine again
 White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
 Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray
 They gave her one more day, to say the words I couldn't say
 I'm crying in pain, crying in pain
 ♪
 And I'm not looking for answers
 No, I'm not looking for answers
 But dear God, why did you choose her?
 White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
 Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray
 They gave her one more day, to say the words I couldn't say
 I'm crying in pain (crying in pain), crying in pain
 Our love will remain (love will remain), I'm crying in pain
