higher than life

John Newman

I put on the fire today
And walked down the field to the lake
I cooked up the food that you love
Made it the way do you would

I keep the front light on
Hoping you still come home
But you have gone higher
Higher than life
I know that you out there
Lost in the sky
Oh, I will never let you go
I will never let you down
My friend
Cause you have gone higher
Higher than life

A birthday is coming up soon
I'll book us a table for two
Then walk down the old avenue
Singing our favourite tune

I keep the front light on
Hoping you still come home
But you have gone higher
Higher than life
I know that you out there
Lost in the sky
Oh, I will never let you go
I will never let you down
My friend
But you have gone higher
Higher than life

And now that are you gone
The day seems so lonely without you
Ah noo
I try to carry on
Cause that's what you'll want me to do, oo

You have gone higher
Higher than life
I know that you out there
Lost in the sky
Oh, I will never let you go
I will never let you down
My friend
But you have gone higher
Higher than life
