B.o.B Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

8 O'clock on the morning you left
The day was dark I sat in my room
They walked in and told me that you'd gone
That moment on I knew I'd be your angel
Knew you'd be our angel

That day I spent was the hardest day ever
Trying to paint a picture for you

Before my eyes
There's so many colors
Just for today they all seem blue

Heaven Heaven was calling you
Heaven Heaven needed you.

[Chorus]
We'll join our hands again someday
(We'll join our hands)
We'll trade kisses before night (night)
And talk of time we had
We'll be together oh someday (we'll be together)
And watch over the stars at night (night)
And laugh at the fun we had
It was our day
Oh yeah!

I'll lay a rose beside you forever
And light a candle to remind me of you
Here in my heart
You'll be on my journey
Wherever I go whatever I do

Oh Our day
