Lyrics
Verse
She said her husband was a good man
The best man she'd ever known
But he worked too hard
And he never laughed
And he wasn't built for being alone
He had an ordinary heart attack
On an ordinary day
I said
"I'm so sorry"
She said
"It's okay"
I said
"I really am sorry"
She said
"No
It's okay"
Chorus
"Because he's happier now
He's happy now
I can see him on a boat on the lake
With the blue sky
The water
The sunshine
A look of ease on his face
He's happier now
He's happy now
He's having fun with his friends
They drink and they laugh
And they say
'Here we go again'"
Verse 2
Then she said
"I have to tell you something"
She looked at me with wide eyes
She said
"I knew it was gonna happen
He told me in a dream he was gonna die
So I got up in the morning
And I dressed him in a white shirt
And I put on his favorite tie
I cooked him breakfast and sent him off to work
And I told him
'It's okay to die'"
Chorus
"Because you're happier now
You're happy now
I can see you on a boat on the lake
With the blue sky
The water
The sunshine
A look of ease on your face
You're happier now
You're happy now
You're having fun with your friends
You drink and you laugh
And you say
'Here we go again'"
Bridge
She said
"I haven't told anyone else yet
You're the first one I've called
But you and I
We know that there's no such thing
As death
After all"
Chorus
"Because they're happier now
They're happy now
They're on a boat on the lake
With the blue sky
The water
The sunshine
A look of ease on their faces
They're happier now
They're happy now
They're having fun with their friends
They drink and they laugh
And they say
'Here we go again'"
