Well, it feels like slow-motion
I hear the gun explodin'
I see the flash, it brings me to my knees
And I feel the warmth flowin' out of me



But in my mind,
I'm climbin' up the stairs
And walkin' down the hall
And Heather's standin' there
October ninety-nine
I see us in New England in the fall
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10
Hangin' on Heather's wall
Hangin' on Heather's wall



I see the money on the floor
And his gun there by the door
He was tryin' to rob the bank when I walked in
Oh, but this is not the way it's supposed to end



But in my mind,
I'm climbin' up the stairs
And walkin' down the hall
And Heather's standin' there
October ninety-nine
I see us in New England in the fall
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10
Hangin' on Heather's wall
Hangin' on Heather's wall



Oh, somewhere someone says we've lost him now
But I look up and I see Heather's smile



So how can I be dyin',
When I'm climbin' up the stairs
And walkin' down the hall
And I see a bright light there
October ninety-nine
And that picture of New England in the fall
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10
Hangin' on Heather's wall
(Our love will last forever)
Hangin' on Heather's wall
(Our love will last forever)
Hangin' on Heather's wall
