lover, please

I know I might be a little too late
But allow me a moment to try and explain.
See, I lost my head and I wound up dead.
And now as you're standing over my grave, I'm asking

Lover, please
Lover, please
I need you to be strong for me
So wipe those tears from your eyes
Only tears for me now are from the sky
Lover, please...keep on loving me

I'm sorry I never made it home
Sorry I left you and the kids alone
I made the wrong man mad; I didn't know he was so bad
And he told me for this world I didn't have too long, so

Lover, please
Lover, please
I need you to be strong for me
So walk away from this hole in the ground
Don't look back, don't ever turn around
But lover, please
Please keep on loving me

I know it will be hard to move on
But like my arms around you, baby
As you hear the words of this song
Can't you feel me in the air
I'm not really gone

Lover, please
Lover, please
I need you to be strong for me
So wipe those tears from your eyes
Only tears for me now are from the sky
So lover please, keep on loving me
Lover, please...keep on loving me
