Lyrics
Till St. Peter Lets Me In
© 2016 Hank Thomas/ all rights reserved
V1
I could tell you all about it, but where would I begin
We were young and our whole lives lay ahead
But it was time for her to leave us, and this heartache to begin
I'm gonna miss her till St. Peter lets me in, till St. Peter lets me in
V2
She could light up every morning with her smile
If there's any gettin' over this, it's gonna be a while
Till I can see her face and hold her tight won't be nothing ever really right
I'm gonna miss her till St. Peter lets me in
Ch
Some memories are meant to last forever
They don't wash away, with whiskey or with gin
The days keep getting longer and the wind keeps blowing stronger
Nothing's ever gonna be the same again
I'm gonna miss her till St. Peter lets me in
V3
There are times I feel like nothing will sustain me
I've been prayin' but this achin' never ends
Remembering her love drives me half crazy
I'm gonna miss her till St. Peter lets me in
Ch
Some memories are meant to last forever
They don't wash away, with whiskey or with gin
The days keep getting longer, wind keeps blowing stronger
Nothing's ever gonna be the same again
I'm gonna miss her till St. Peter lets me in
