If My House Were On Fire

If my house was on fire and I had to grab one thing
It would be the locket you gave me, not the necklace or the ring The locket is precious to me, with your picture inside I hold it close to my heart every night since you died I miss you dearly, gosh I love you so It breaks my heart knowing you had to go You’re in a better place now So I know I shouldn’t frown But since you been gone, my world’s been upside down I cry myself to sleep, here as I lay Wishing you were next me, I begin to pray I pray that you hear me telling you I miss you Its reassuring knowing one day I’ll be there too In heaven that is, where I can see your face again And you will no longer be just a picture in my hand Inside this locket, you will reside Until I crossover to stand by your side If my house were on fire and I had to grab one thing It would be this locket, the only thing with meaning.
