And there's three, count 'em three
|
Children playing on the beach
|
They were eager to learn,
|
To be taught and to teach
|
|
There's Veronica
|
She's biting her lip
|
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip
|
And there's Vada
|
Radiating with joy
|
And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy
|
And lastly there's Dade
|
His hair dances in the wind
|
And he's wondering what love is
|
And why it has to end
|
|
And he can't understand
|
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
|
His mother whispers quietly...
|
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
|
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
|
So live for the moment
|
And take this advice, live by every word
|
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
|
And live for the moment now
|
|
And there's three, count 'em three
|
Children growing on the beach
|
They were eager to learn,
|
To be taught and to teach
|
|
There's Veronica
|
She's licking her lips
|
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss
|
And there's Vada
|
Can't admit her jealousy
|
Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty)
|
Lastly there's Dade
|
Still sitting on the dock
|
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks
|
And he wonders when his father will return
|
But he's not coming back
|
|
And he can't understand
|
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
|
His mother whispers quietly...
|
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
|
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
|
So live for the moment
|
And take this advice, live by every word
|
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard (forget everything)
|
|
And there's three, count 'em three
|
Children missing from the beach
|
They were eager to learn,
|
To be taught and to teach
|
|
But the sad thing
|
Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen
|
Due to neglect from their mother
|
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father
|
She didn't even notice, or pay much attention
|
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean
|
Now all her advice, it seems useless
|
|
No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die
|
It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
|
So live for the moment
|
And take this advice, live by every word
|
Love's completely real, so forget anything that you've heard
|
And live for the moment now
|
