Happy hour in the heaven bar.

I know that you’d be happy now
As you watch us live our lives;
And I know it’s not turned out
Quite as you’d have liked.

I know that you’d want better for him,
I know you’d disapprove of the decisions we made,
But I know you’d be glad we’re together,
Even if it’s not as it seems.

I know you would’ve hated the arguments,
You would’ve told us to all grow up,
You would’ve told us we wanted too much,
But I know that you’d have understood.

I know that you’d be happy now,
Proud of the way we’ve turned out,
I know that you’d believe in me,
I know you’d trust my choices.

I know that you’d see there’s a long way to go,
I know you’d understand,
And I know that you’d shout at me,
Try to make me see sense.

I know that you’d be happy I’ve come this far,
That you’d believe I could go the distance,
I know you’d sit me down,
Give me a good talking to.

I know that you’d be proud of us,
I know you’d see our doubts,
I know you’d tell us we could make it,
Tell us we’d be happy even if we couldn’t.

I know that you’d tell me all your stories,
Make me laugh with your jokes,
And I know you’d listen to my tales,
As I told you my life went on.

I wish that you could tell me what to do,
Tell me the answers all of the time,
Tell me where to go,
And tell me who I am.

I wish you were here to guide me,
Or through him tell me I’ve done the right thing,
Because I see so much of you in him,
And he sees it in me too.

I hope you’re happy now,
As you watch us live our lives,
And I hope you know it’s not turned out,
Quite how we’d have liked.

I hope you’re proud,
And you know we’ve tried our best,
I hope wherever you are you’re together,
And I hope we’ll all stay together too.

But I don’t believe in an afterlife,
Or ghosts or anything like that,
I don’t believe that there’s a heaven better than here,
Or a hell worse than it either.

I don’t believe in fate anymore,
I don’t believe in much,
I rarely believe in myself anymore,
But I’d like to believe in this.

I’d like to believe that you’re ‘together forever’,
That you’re looking down on us,
That you’re proud of what we’re doing,
And that it’s happy hour in the heaven bar.
