| He said to me he wanted to be near to me
|
| He said he never wanted to be out of my sight
|
| But it’s too late to give this boy my love tonight
|
| Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry
|
| He said to me he wanted to be close by my side
|
| We had a quarrel. |
| I was untrue on the night he died
|
| And it’s too late to tell this boy how great was
|
| Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry
|
| He rode into the night
|
| Accelerated his motorbike
|
| I cried to him in fright
|
| Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it
|
| He said to me, you are the one I want to be with
|
| He said to me, you are the one my love I shall give
|
| One day he’ll know how hard I prayed for him to live
|
| Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry
|
| He rode into the night
|
| Accelerated his motorbike
|
| I cried to him in fright
|
| Don’t do it, don’t do it, don. |
| t do it
|
| He said to me, you are the one I want to be with
|
| He said to me, you are the one who my love I shall give
|
| One day he’ll know how hard I prayed for him to live
|
| Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry |
