Afire Love Akor

Things were all good yesterday

And then the devil took your memory

And if you fell to your death today,

I hope that heaven is your resting place

 

I heard the doctors put your chest in pain

then that could've been the medicine

And now you're lying in the bed again

Either way I'll cry with the rest of them

 

Pre-Chorus

 

And my father told me so

It's not his fault he doesn't know your face

And you're not the only one

Although my grandma used to say, he used to see

 

Chorus

 

Darling hold me in arms the way you did last night

And your life inside, a little while with you more

I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light, in life and love

 

Put your open lips on mine, slowly let them shut

for they're designed to be together

With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one

And we'll set alight, we're afire love

 

 

Verse

 

Things were all good yesterday

And then the devil took your breath away

And now we're left here in pain

Black suit black tie standing in the rain

 

And now my family is one again

Stapled together with the strangers and a friend

Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen

Six years old I remember when

 

Pre-Chorus

 

And my father told me so

It's not his fault he doesn't know your face

And you're not the only one

Although my grandma used to say, he used to see

 

Chorus

 

Darling hold me in arms the way you did last night

And your life inside, a little while with you more

I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light, in life and love

 

Put your open lips on mine, slowly let them shut

for they're designed to be together

With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one

And we'll set alight, we're afire love

 

 

My father, and all of my family

rise from their seats to sing hallelujah

And my brother and all of my family

rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
