Sixpence None The Richer
"Dresses"

Music & Lyrics by : Matt Slocum 

in the middle of my mourning 
sits joy like a happy child 
in the middle of this death 
I must cry with life for a while 

and death is great 
we are in his keep, laughing an whole 
when we feel deep in life 
he dares weep, deep in our soul 

Chorus 
so you are gone 
but you are perfect now 
and you like to dress 
you wear dresses that never fade 

in the middle of my mourning 
sits joy like a happy child 
in the middle of this death 
I must cry with life for a while 

Chorus

so you are gone 
(my mother cried she said you'd gone away) 
but you are perfect now 
(and now a part of me must do the same) 
and you like to dress 
(but I know I must be thankful that) 
you wear dresses that never fade
