Hello God (1960s California Pop)

[Verse 1] Hello God, how are you? We haven't talked before, it's true I didn't have your number saved But Mum said it was okay She's fading fast, I'm out of words So I guess I'm texting you first [Chorus 1 ] Who's the first one you'll talk to When you open your eyes again? I wish that I could walk with you To the place where love begins again But I'll stay here — and let you go To meet the hearts you used to know [Verse 2] Hello God, what's new with you? There's a space in my life I can't undo Guess we all head to the same last station But it's the ride that's worth the celebration So I'm raising a glass to a life well done And all she passed on to her son [Chorus 2 ] Who's the first one you'll talk to When you open your eyes again? I wish that I could walk with you To the place where love begins again But I'll stay here — and let you go To see the ones who loved you so [Bridge] I don't know how to say goodbye My voice breaks down and so do I If she's watching me don't let her see I smile outside but inside I freeze [Final Chorus] Who's the first one you'll talk to When you open your eyes again? Will it be your mum, your best old friend, Or Dad — waiting right at the end? I can't go with you, but I'll be near In every smile, in every tear. Yeah, in our music I’ll always be near.
