She's got house plants
To keep her company
I bought her a goldfish
She named it after me
We look at old photographs
Of lovers come and gone
I ask her if it makes her sad
She said "son you've got so much to learn"
Juliette
The love of the life that you have kept
Juliette
Smiling on your dying bed
Juliette
Got a grace about you yet
Juliette
Smoking her last cigarette
Three is tea time
She puts on Patsy Cline
Cuts the crusts off sandwiches
Mentions how she don't mind dying
Tells stories about Pearl and Earl
Best friends that she once had
We do the dishes
Then she says it's time for bed
Juliette
The love of the life that you have kept
Juliette
Smiling on your dying bed
Juliette
You've got a grace about you yet
Juliette
Smoking her last cigarette
We ate ice cream
Last night before she slept
No plans for breakfast
Except to read the note she left
Grey and white skies
That day was a blur for me
She made me promise not to cry
So here is a drink, I drink to thee
Juliette
The love of the life that you have kept
Juliette
Smiling on your dying bed
Juliette
You've got a grace about you yet
Juliette
Smoking her last cigarette
Juliette
