Heard This Song Today...

Whoa.

Last Thing She Said/Ryan Tyler

When she opened up her eyes
She was blinded by the lights
Everything was flashing red and blue
She heard "Do you know were you are?"
As they pulled her from her car
She saw the helicopter and she knew
It must be really bad
And as they lifted off the ground
The only thing that she could think about

Was the last thing she said
To her husband that morning
And the look on his face
When she slammed the door
And the way she drove off
Without one ounce of regret
And knowing "I love you"
Was not the last thing she said

She tried to stay awake
Long enough to see his face
Wishin' she could take the whole day back
She kept asking where he is
And "Am I gonna live?"
While the voices in the room faded fast
Before she drifted off
They tried to calm her down
But on and on all she talked about

(Repeat Chorus)

He was waitin' in the hall
Starin’ at the wall
When he finally saw the doctor walk his way
Oh, he was scared to death
Just holding his breath
Right up until he heard the doctor say
"She’ll be okay
And right now she needs her rest
But she wanted me to tell you she’s sorry
And ‘I love you’
Was the last thing she said."



This one is really good, too... very haunting

Whiskey Lullaby/Brad Paisley & Allison Krauss

She put him out like the burning end
of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart.
He spent his whole life trying to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time.
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

Chorus: He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
We found him with his face down in the pillow
with a note that said "I'll love her 'till I die.
And when we buried him beneath the willow,
the angels sang a whiskey lullaby.

The rumors flew. But nobody knew
how much she blamed herself.
For years and years, she tried to hide
the whiskey on her breath.
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time.
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short but this time it was bigger
than the strength she had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face down in the pillow
clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
