we never could love fully
          	when we breathed the same air 
          	but I'll hold you in the afterlife
          	for we'll be safe there

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, 
          Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, 
          Silence the pianos and with muffled drum 
          Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. 
          
          Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead 
          Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead. 
          Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, 
          Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. 
          
          He was my North, my South, my East and West, 
          My working week and my Sunday rest, 
          My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; 
          I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. 
          
          The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, 
          Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, 
          Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods; 
          For nothing now can ever come to any good

A boy I don’t like told me to write from the heart
          
          I didn’t know what that meant because I never knew I had one
          
          I never knew I had a heart
          
          ‘Til you said you kissed a boy I haven’t met
          
           
          
          Then I knew I had a heart
          
          Because I thought it might stop
          
          And when I thought my heart might stop beating
          
          I realised it had always been there
          
           
          
          But it didn’t know how to feel
          
          Until I thought about losing you
          
          I knew we wouldn’t last forever
          
          I was waiting for this day
          
           
          
          But I hope we can fix things
          
          And if we can’t
          
          I will always thank you
          
          For showing me I have a heart
