August 7 Lyrics - Singles - Jon Bon Jovi

It was another day, perfect Texas afternoon 

Mother and two children play the way they always do 

As they raced home from the mailbox, a mother and her son 

Against a little girl of six years old, the independent one 

The deputies went door to door through all the neighborhood 

They said, "I got some news to tell you folks, I'm afraid it ain't so good" 

Somehow something happened, someone got away 

Someone got the answers for what happened here today 

Oh no, oh no 

Oh no no no no 

Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean 

August 7, 4:15 

Now the people from the papers and the local TV news 

Tried to find the reason, cop dogs sniffed around for clues 

Someone shouted, "Hit and run" the coroner cried, "Foul" 

Her blue dress was what she wore the day they laid her body down 

Oh no, oh no 

Oh no no no no 

Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean 

August 7, 4:15 

No no 

I know tonight that there's an angel up on Heaven's highest hill 

And no one there can hurt you, baby, no one ever will 

Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed 

The flames are all around you, how you gonna sleep again ? 

Oh no, oh no 

Oh no no no no 

Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean 

August 7, 4:15 

Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean 

August 7, 4:15 

4:15 

4:15 

4:15
