Eb
Once your girl
Eb
I’m always your girl
Eb
When I’m here and when I’m there

Or on a plane headed somewhere
Eb
You were staring down the cars
Eb
Hoping it would be one of ours
Eb                                        Ab
Children and grandchildren writing you cards
                    Fm
But how long were you waiting for me

To make a left down your street?

Eb                            Cm
It’s not if darling it’s when
Cm                             Bb
Was there something left unsaid?
Ab
Were your eyes green, were they blue?
Bb                              Ab
What was it that I forgot to ask you?
Eb                           Cm
Busy hands, I’ll set ‘em down
Cm
To say I love you right out loud
Ab
I’ll bet you’re making heaven laugh
Bb                                        Ab          Eb
But it feels like tears and memories are all we have

Verse 2:
Eb
Once I knew it
Eb
I was always a know it all
Eb
Too busy too stressed out
Eb
To take your call
Eb
Thought I would always find you there
Eb
Sitting in your TV chair
Eb                           Ab
Time is in a bar having a laugh somewhere
                          Fm
The nurse said you were waiting for me
Bb                       Eb
To let go, to let it be

Chorus:
Eb                            Cm
It’s not if darling it’s when

Were your eyes green, were they blue?

Busy hands I’ll set ‘em down

To say I love you here and now

Did God need a new lead in his band?

When this world and its people
     Eb
Are all we have
