Lady in that long black dress
Make me feel better
Kiss me and take away the hurt
Write me a love letter
Write me a love letter

Cause love has been fleeting all my life
Is this God’s plan for me
The pain hides well behind my eyes
Where no one else can see
Where no one else can see

My grandparents were married seventy years
Their love just would not die
My grandfather mourned my grandmother’s death
Until he turned ninety-five
And that’s when he died

Drinking whiskey and taking pain pills
Trying to ease my pain
My world passes by in a haze
I look outside and see rain
The storm brings only rain

Preacher in that long dark suit
Please say a prayer for me
Ask the Lord to take away the pain
And heal this misery
Take it soon from me

Angel of Death don’t you come for me
It’s not my time
Go back from whence you came
My life still holds a rhyme
My life still holds a rhyme
