Is Whiskey Heaven? Or Heaven Whiskey?
Don’t know, but the stuff inspires poetry when one is sat alone
When you wake tomorrow
And I’m not there to see
Face the sun’s yellowness
Don’t spill any tears for me
Smile, laugh and wet your feet
Standing on the causeway
Regret not all those loving things
We never got around to say
And when you think of memories
The good ones and the bad
Don’t forget the love we shared
And all the fun we had
If I could relive one yesterday
One hour, one minute say
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
And leave a different way
God said my place was ready
Smiled down from His great throne
And I worried if tomorrow
You’d find your way alone
I know how much you’ve loved me
As much as I’ve loved you
We found that love together
So trusting and so true
So when tomorrow starts
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’ll be right there in your heart
Today my life on Earth is past
But here it starts anew
Please try to understand
And know I miss you, too
Don’t give Steve my whiskey
Or let him have my clothes
Sell my car to someone else
My golf clubs I suppose
Make a fire of all my words
My computer in the bin
Not the one with photographs
The one with Word built-in
I like to leave you smiling
It’s always been my way
God won’t let me in
He said it’s not my birthday
There’s still a kid in here
I think it might be Daniel
October cheeks and dimple chin
A heart built like an anvil
There’s a poet sat in the corner
John Lennon is on guitar
Kennedy’s speaking to angels
And a bygone movie star
Today has been the best day yet
I thought you ought to know
I’m not quite dead or up in Heaven
I’m in the pub, with a whiskey afterglow.
