Jeff Jacobs - The Necklace lyrics

High in the hills of a far away land There lived a stone hearted bitter old man Who kept to himself and let nobody in Nobody's lover and nobody's friend One day a boy who was lost in the night Heard the man crying, and tip-toed inside He was gasping for life So he looked in his eyes And the man said these final words: Take this money And this address Promise me you'll Read this message It said Tell her I miss her and Tell her I love her and Give her this necklace if she's still alive I'm sorry I left you but When I'm in heaven I'm Sending an angel to earth from the sky To remember me by Now this boy was part of a family so poor They took the money, but he never forgot his promise And one day he got on a plane, Flew to the address and found a young lady Who said that her mother had died long ago Her father had left them and she's never known him But sometimes she wonders If he ever loved her That's when the boy replied You should sit down Look what I found It says Tell her I miss her and Tell her I love her and Give her this necklace if she's still alive I'm sorry I left you but When I'm in heaven I'm Sending an angel to earth from the sky To remember me by She looked at the necklace and leaned in to say Time took this silver and turned it to grey The glow and the sparkle cannot be retained How can you blame me for feeling the same? So if you remember just one thing I say Treasure your loved ones before it's too late Like the man and the necklace Who'd gladly relinquish A lifetime in heaven For once chance to say Tell her I miss her and Tell her I love her and Give her this necklace if she's still alive I'm sorry I left you but When I'm in heaven I'm Sending an angel to earth from the sky To remember me by
