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)
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)
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!"
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)
