I painted your room at midnight

So I'd know yesterday was over

I put all your books on the top shelf

Even the one with the four leaf clover

Man, I'm getting older



I took all your pictures off the wall

And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket

And I haven't slept in what seems like a century

And now I can barely breathe



Just like the crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away

I guess, I was just a little too late



Your words still serenade me

And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep

And I've never heard such a haunting melody

And now it is killing me

You know I can barely breathe



Just like the crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away

I guess, I was just a little too late, I was just a little too late



Just like the crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away



Like the crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away

I guess I was just little too late

(Yeah, yeah)



I was just a little too late

I was just a little too, little too late

I guess, I was just little too late
