The Necklace Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Jacobs

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
