Well it feels like slow motion
I hear the gun exploding
I see the flash that brings me to my knees
CHORUS
But in my mind I'm climbing up the stais and walking down the hall
And Heather's standing there
October ninety-nine I see us in New England in the fall
Our love will last forever like that 8x10 hanging on Heather's wall
I see the money on the floor and his gun there by the door
He was tryin' to rob the bank when I walked in
Oh, but this is not the way it's supposed to end
CHORUS
Oh somewhere, someone says we've lost him now
But I look up and see Heather's smile
So, how can I be dying
When I'm climbing up the stairs and walking down the hall
And I see a bright light there
October ninety-nine that picture of New England in the fall
Our love will last forever like that 8x10 on Heather's wall
Hangin' on Heather's wall
