John Van Deusen Absentee Heartbeat
[Chorus 1]
Absentee Heartbeat
It's all we have to go on
The look on their faces
Told me that you were gone
[Chorus 2]
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you
[Bridge]
But it's not over
It just gets colder
No, it's not over
It just gets colder
[Verse]
But I guess that you've been saved
The weight of growing up, and breaking down
Your tiny body, sleeps under the holly tree
Your mom planted flowers, so you wouldn't get lonely
[Chorus 2]
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you
[Chorus 1]
Absentee Heartbeat
It's all we have to go on
The look on their faces
Told me that you were gone
[Outro]
It's a beautiful sight, it's a marvelous thing
