Lyrics
HEAVEN KNOWS
Verse 1:
One day ago my world came apart
Twenty-four hours have passed since everything stopped with a start
The suddenness caught me by surprise
It's amazing how quickly happiness dies
Verse 2:
One week ago my world came apart
Seven days have passed since I took a dart to the heart
I go through the motions, but I'm all numb inside
I'm all dried out, there's no more tears to be cried
Bridge:
HEAVEN KNOWS how much I miss you
HEAVEN KNOWS I long to be with you
HEAVEN KNOWS how my arms ache to hold you again
Verse 3:
One month ago my world came apart
Four weeks have passed since my life lost its spark
I try to make sense of a senseless act
But nothing is ever going to bring you back
Verse 4:
One year ago my world came apart
Twelve months have passed wandering alone in the dark
Somebody please wake me from this dream
I try to cry out but I can't even scream
Bridge:
HEAVEN KNOWS I'll always miss you
HEAVEN KNOWS someday I'll be with you
HEAVEN KNOWS the heartache that I will go through without you
