Intro: A
Terry... Terry... 0:12
He said to me he wanted to be near to me.
He said he never wanted to be out of my sight,
But it's too late to give this boy my love tonight.
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry. (Terry) 0:44
He said to me he wanted to be close by my side.
We had a quarrel, I was untrue on the night he died,
And it's too late to tell this boy how great he was.
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry. (Terry) 1:15
He rode into the night, accelerated his motorbike,
I cried to him in fright, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. 1:30
He said to me you are the one I want to be with.
He said to me you are the one who my love I shall give.
One day he'll know how hard I prayed for him to live.
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry. (Terry) 2:00
