LORD BUCKINGHAM
It's not easy without you, not perfect anymore.
When I go to the barn, lean on your stall door.
I feel in my heart, we'll be together again.
Riding up there in Heaven, But, I'm not so sure when.
Up there in Heaven, but, I'm not so sure when.
We ride through the field, We ride on the trail.
We jump over six feet, as the memory prevails.
You love your carrots and an apple now and then,
More times than not, you were my only friend.
Angels looking after you, In paradise.
Angels give you carrots, too. Angels are nice.
Your bridle, your halter, your shoe on the wall,
Your blanket is folded beside my old shawl.
I know in my heart, we'll be together again.
Riding up there in Heaven, But, I'm not so sure when.
Up there in Heaven, but, I'm not so sure when.
Repeat Bridge
