The Next:
Shall I get you a space suit, Grandpa,
For your grand journey to the sky?
I’m not sure how long it’ll take
To reach the loved ones you’re sure to see
So take a sip of the milky way as you soar on by
And avoid those comets and meteors
- Aim for star dust as you fly
Once you hit the galaxy sea
Save a star seat beside you for me
So when it’s my turn to journey I’ll know
I’ll be beside you again quite soon
And while my heart hates to see your heart go
And I don’t even know how to say this goodbye
I understand why it must be this way
We’ve kept the midnight sky cheated
The bright light you’re sure to be
We’ve stolen enough time from those
- Waiting your arrival patiently
So though it means you’ll leave me here
I’ll fetch you a space suit, Grandpa,
For your grand journey to the sky
And look for your gleam in the darkness
