Nicole Perlman - Guardians: Earth 1988 lyrics

[Earth 1988. A young Peter Quill sits in the waiting room of a hospital, listening to the "Awesome Mix" tape on his Walkman when his grandfather comes over to him] GRANDPA QUILL: Peter, your mama wants to speak with you. Come on, Pete. Take these fool things off. [his grandfather takes the headphones off of Peter's head, turns off the Walkman, takes Peter to see his mother, who's lying sick in bed, she notices his eye is bruised] MEREDITH QUILL: Why have you been fighting with the other boys again, baby? [Peter shrugs his shoulders] Peter? PETER QUILL: They k**ed a little frog that ain't done nothin'. Smushed it with a stick. MEREDITH QUILL: You're so like your daddy, you even look like him. And he was an angel, composed of pure light... [Meredith's eyes close for a moment] GRANDPA QUILL: Mer? You got a present for Peter, don't you? MEREDITH QUILL: Of course. There. [she touches the small wrapped present and card, her father takes them and puts them in Peter's backpack] GRANDPA QUILL: I've got you covered, Pete. MEREDITH QUILL: You open it up when I'm gone, okay? [Peter's eyes start welling up with tears] Your grandpa is gonna take such good care of you. At least until your daddy comes back to get you. Take my hand. [she opens her hand but Peter looks away] Peter. [Peter begins to cry] GRANDPA QUILL: Pete, come on. MEREDITH QUILL: Take my hand. [just then Meredith's heart stops] PETER QUILL: Mom? No! No! No! No! Mom! No! [as the doctor's rush into Meredith's room, Peter's grandfather carries Peter] GRANDPA QUILL: Come with me. PETER QUILL: No! No! GRANDPA QUILL: You've got to stay here. Please. PETER QUILL: No. GRANDPA QUILL: Okay? [Peter watches his grandfather walk back into the room, then Peter runs outside he falls to his knees as he weeps] PETER QUILL: No. [suddenly a spaceship appears above him and abducts him] Mom!
