Lyrics of Something Happened on the Way to Heaven by Phil Collins
chorus
We had our life, we had our love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Yes I'm sorry
verse
How can something so good go so bad?
How can something so right go so wrong?
I don't know, I don't have all the answers
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
chorus
Well you know you can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
Oh yeah!
verse
I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me, and wouldn't let go
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Yes I'm sorry
(Sorry!)
chorus
Well you know you can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving 'less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe me
chorus
You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving 'til it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, let me show you
bridge
They say you can't take it with you when you go
And I believe it
But taking what I've got or being here with you
You know I, I'd rather leave it
verse
We had our life, we had our love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you loose it
Well that was then and this is now, and I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Yes I'm sorry
(Yes I'm sorry)
chorus
Well you know you can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe me
chorus
You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving 'til it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
