Gettin' ready to Breathe
She gave him her ring
It hadn't been off for 52 years
Slipped it into his shirt pocket
He couldn't hold back his tears
She said I know this feels like the end
And you're afraid
But we're gonna be together again someday
I'm getting ready to breathe
Just like a baby's first moment
I'm getting ready to see
The place I've been dreaming of so long of going
When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there
So don't cry for me, I'm getting ready to breathe
Now I'll get to know what gold feels like under my feet
I'll see my brother Joe, he's been waiting since I was 16
It's hard to believe it now
'Cause this body shows every mile
But I'm 'bout to sing with an angel
I'm gonna run like a child
I'm getting ready to breathe
Just like a baby's first moment
I'm getting ready to see
The place I've been dreaming of so long of going
When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there
So don't cry for me, I'm getting ready to breathe
I'm getting ready to breathe
Just like a baby's first moment
Getting ready to see
The place I've been dreaming of so long of going
When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there
So don't cry for me, so don't cry for me
I'm getting ready to breathe, ooh
It hadn't been off for 52 years
Slipped it into his shirt pocket
He couldn't hold back his tears
She said I know this feels like the end
And you're afraid
But we're gonna be together again someday
I'm getting ready to breathe
Just like a baby's first moment
I'm getting ready to see
The place I've been dreaming of so long of going
When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there
So don't cry for me, I'm getting ready to breathe
Now I'll get to know what gold feels like under my feet
I'll see my brother Joe, he's been waiting since I was 16
It's hard to believe it now
'Cause this body shows every mile
But I'm 'bout to sing with an angel
I'm gonna run like a child
I'm getting ready to breathe
Just like a baby's first moment
I'm getting ready to see
The place I've been dreaming of so long of going
When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there
So don't cry for me, I'm getting ready to breathe
I'm getting ready to breathe
Just like a baby's first moment
Getting ready to see
The place I've been dreaming of so long of going
When I take my last breath here, I'll take my first one there
So don't cry for me, so don't cry for me
I'm getting ready to breathe, ooh
