Picture Of Heaven
Reamonn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause I've got something that you don't have it's a picture of heaven that I stole from the dead
And I've got something in my room gonna open it up and let the light shine through

'Cause I've seen heaven in the in the light of your pain
I could feel you warmth as you walked through the flame
I could see your tears washing your face could you see my light guide you to this place

Got a picture of you in my room

Gonna open it up let the light shine through
Let the light shine through let the light shine on you

Yeah I've seen heaven in the strengh of you eyes
And the fear of living well you loose when you fly
But now you're stronger stronger than life
You flame in the fire, light up the night

Got a picture of you in my room
Gonna open it up let the light shine through
Let the light shine through let the light shine on you

Come on come on be strong, come on come on be strong

Come on come on be strong, come on come on
'Cause I got something in my room gonna open it up cause it reminds me of You
