August 7, 4:15 Lyrics

J. Bon Jovi 

It was another day 
A perfect Texas afternoon 
A mother and two children play 
The way the always do 
As they raced home from the mailbox 
A mother and her son 
Against a little girl of 6 years old 
The independant 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 

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
