86 Floors From Heaven Lyrics

She has her mother's eyes
The kind where darkness takes a shine
She's empty on a busy train
Edging nearer
Ready to be on her way
Anywhere but here
She floats a kiss goodbye
"I'll soon be with you…"
And grips her pearls real tight
"I love you"

This bride to be is aiming high
When she wakes in the morning
Looking over empire skies
Up on her way
Live your life
She don't want it any other way
Live your life
Her only wish is to fly away

Arrives on time, on cue
She's got a ticket for the eighty-sixth view
Drawn a line through June
She'll always be twenty-three to her father
"I have mother's troubled glow"
Neatly folds away her dreams and hopes

This bride to be is aiming high
When she wakes in the morning
Looking over empire skies
Up on her way
Live your life
She don't want it any other way
"Live your life
While mine is sleeping far away"
