Died and Gone to Heaven
© 2015, Scott Hrabko (ASCAP)

Oh, little queen of diamonds
Beneath the sodium lights
Chimes in the wind and the whispering gin
It was gonna be a beautiful night
My whole life passed before me
Like a heartbeat in the sky
I think I must've died and gone to heaven

Now, it ain't hard to understand
Any fool could see
So many boys want to be your man
Now you aim those eyes at me
The light of day's a kiss away for all eternity
I think I must've died and gone to heaven

I think I must've died a thousand times
Stepped right up to that dark and dreadful line
Oh, good lovin'
It'll bring you back to life

I'm still high from the other night
All the way down to my shoes
She had the answer to the question
What have we got to lose
On the last legs of a weary waltz
Her heartbeat sweating on through
I think I must've died and gone to heaven

I think I must've died a thousand times
Stepped right up to that lost and lonely line
Oh, good loving
It's gonna change your mind overnight

Well, a lonesome load of laundry
An abandoned band of gold
All that rolling and tumbling
It was getting kind of old
She picked me up and dusted me off
Lo and behold
I think I must've died and gone to heaven
I think I must've died and gone to heaven
I think I must've died and gone to heaven
