Well, it feels like slow-motion
I hear the gun explodin'
I see the flash, it brings me to my knees
And I feel the warmth flowin' out of me
-CHORUS
But in my mind, I'm climbin' up the stairs
And walkin' down the hall
And Heather's standin' there
October ninety-nine
I see us in New England in the fall
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10
Hangin' on Heather's wall
Hangin' 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
-Repeat Chorus
-Bridge
Oh, somewhere someone says we've lost him now
But I look up and I see Heather's smile
-CHORUS #2
So how can I be dyin', when I'm climbin' up the stairs
And walkin' down the hall
And I see a bright light there
October ninety-nine
And that picture of New England in the fall
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10
Hangin' on Heather's wall (our love will last forever)
Hangin' on Heather's wall (our love will last forever)
Hangin' on Heather's wall
