Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody...ah, nobody wants to die

Silk and shinning shadows
Honest to the summer wind
Gently, through her hair blows
whimsical, small, sad grin
And even in darkening sky now
glimmer, a glimmer and a star
Wishing, walking and a wondering
 [bad word]  just my guitar
And the wind, it blows in my window as I look out
On the road of life and I see all the people going by...ahhh

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody...ah, nobody wants to die

And I'll sing you my songs in a smoke filled room
Even words from my mind and they penetrate the gloom
And they go on by, I give a sigh, and I wonder why
voice is pleading and things I'm needing
In the deep, troubled darkness of the night
Soft and silent, footsteps stepping lower
So gently, from the vine
And the wind, it blows in my window as I look out
On the road of life and I see all the people going by...ahhh

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody...ah, nobody wants to die

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody...ah, nobody wants to die
