All the Nurses Know

A flower vase and greeting cards

A fighting chance at Sacred Heart

You spent the night again

Beside my hospital bed

And all the nurses know who you are

They say everybody dies alone

But I got a hand to hold

And I know you’re never letting go

Til the blood in my veins runs cold

I’m giving all that

all that I have

To see your face in the morning

the morning again

Temporary company

Dropping by to check on me

Visiting hours have ended

And they're headed for the exits

But you’ll be here as I fall asleep

They say everybody dies alone

But I got a hand to hold

And I know you’re never letting go

Til the blood in my veins run cold

I’m giving all that

all that I have

To see your face in the morning

the morning again

The glow of fluorescent lights

Bleeds into early morning skies

Early morning skies

Each time I close my eyes

So scared that it could be goodbye

Could be goodbye

They say everybody dies alone

Will you promise not to let me go?

They say everybody dies alone

But I got a hand to hold

And I know you’re never letting go

Til the blood in my veins run cold

I’m giving all that

all that I have

To see your face in the morning

the morning again

To see your face in the morning

the morning again
