Tommy Lyrics

Tommy's grown a pair of wings

She practiced what she'd say when it was over

Sarah hums a song he'd sing

As Emma dreams of days when he was sober

Let's all remember who he was

And bring a bit of comfort to his mother

Who dries her eyes and memorizes

Just exactly how he'd say he loved her

Oh fly fly fly fly tonight

No one here knows how to say goodbye

Cuz young hearts are made to be broken

But broken then meant to be fixed

Oh Tommy we're all feeling hopeless

Not ready for this

It's hard to find the words to say

Without it sounding trite or underwhelming

It's safe to say you'd hate today

The cross above our head's not really helping

If he took you to a better place

Then why could he not wait until you're older

Hands are held and stories told

Tommy I just wish that we'd stayed closer

Oh fly fly fly fly tonight

No one here knows how to say goodbye

Cuz young hearts are made to be broken

But broken then meant to be fixed

Oh Tommy we're all feeling hopeless

Not ready for this

And all the irony

Is in times like these

We'd all lean on you

And all that's fighting me

Is to think there's parts of you I'll never know

Oh fly fly fly fly tonight

No one here knows how to say goodbye

Cuz young hearts are made to be broken

But broken then meant to be fixed

Oh Tommy we're all feeling hopeless

Not ready for this

Oh my friend you'll be missed

Tommy's grown a pair of wings

She knew just what she'd say when it was over
