Intro:

And through all this, New England weather
You know never once have i been late
So Mr. Larkin see I know she know who I am
Every now and then, yeah she'll squeeze my hand
It's what I live for and it's why she don't die
So Mr. Larkin won't you won't you give me this try
I see the argument you’re makin
And I understand you got to do your job
And believe me I know she’s turning angel
But you see this woman is all I got
So Mr. Larkin see I know she know who I am
Every now and then, yeah she'll squeeze my hand
It's what I live for and it's why she don't die
