Red Carpet in Heaven (Standing Room Only) Lyrics

I got up this morning with a pain inside my heart

Knowing I'll never see you again is tearing me apart

Your jokes weren't that funny, but they still made me laugh

So many plans for the future, gonna forget about the past

It all seemed so crazy, was it too much too soon

You seemed so excited, as I promised you the moon

Some days I am sad, but the pain ain't as strong

I miss you like a brother, although we didn't know each other that long

I brought you something new, and you brought me hope

I knew you were hurting, it was so hard for you to cope

I would write the lines, you would act them out

You were a prince of the silver screen, there is no doubt

I know where you are now, you can never be lonely

Rolling out the red carpet in heaven, standing room only

I'll turn on the TV, and I'll begin to cry

Slowly turning to laughter, watching License to Drive

You've touched so many, you'll surely be missed

I just hurt so damn bad, it had to end like this

It all seemed so crazy, too young to say goodbye

A hero to so many, yet so human deep inside

I would write the lines, you would act them out

You were a prince of the silver screen, there is no doubt

I know where you are now, you can never be lonely

Rolling out the red carpet in heaven, standing room only

I could hear your excitement, as you read the Mad Hatter

It meant so much to me, yes it really did matter

You would say, right now it ain't so good

But tomorrow is a brand new day

And when people trust in one another, they'll find a way

It all seemed so crazy, too crazy to be true

But I want you to know, Ian, I will always love you

I got up this morning, with a pain inside my heart

Knowing I'll never see you again, is tearing me apart

Your jokes weren't that funny, but they still made me laugh

So many plans for the future, gonna forget about the past

It all seemed so crazy, was it too much too soon

You seemed so excited, as I promised you the moon

Some days I am sad, but the pain ain't as strong

I miss you like a brother, I thought we didn't know each other that long

I brought you something new, and you brought me hope

I knew you were hurting, it was so hard for you to cope

I would write the lines, you would act them out

You were a prince of the silver screen, there is no doubt

I know where you are now, you can never be lonely

Rolling out the red carpet in heaven, standing room only

I'll turn on the TV, and I'll begin to cry

Slowly turning to laughter, watching license to drive

You've touched so many, you'll surely be missed

I just hurt so damn bad, it had to end like this

It all seemed so crazy, too young to say goodbye

A hero to so many, yet so human deep inside

I would write the lines, you would act them out

You were a prince of the silver screen, and there is no doubt

I know where you are now, you can never be lonely

Rolling out the red carpet in heaven, standing room only

I could hear your excitement, as you read the Mad Hatter

It meant so much to me, yes it really did matter

You would say right now it ain't so good, but tomorrow is a brand new day
