about

In Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth, Chance Wayne leaves his girl Heavenly behind in their small town and sets out to make his mark on the world. 'Heavenly' mourns the loss Chance discovers when he returns, and the way our ambition and our absence can destroy the things we pretend we're fighting for.

lyrics

Honey, take a chance
I'll take you for a ride
your daddy owns this town
but if you'll come outside
we'll leave this town so far behind
and I'll be yours, and you'll be mine
cross my heart, and hope to die
ah, Heavenly

I'm coming back for you
no matter what they say
we make our promises
and then we walk away
I left this town so far behind
but I was yours, and you were mine
we crossed our hearts, and hoped to die
ah, Heavenly

Sweet bird of youth, where have you gone?
I only wanted to come home

You hide a thing away
hoping to keep it safe
but when you dig it up
it's just an empty grave
I left this town so far behind
but I was yours, and you were mine
we crossed our hearts, and hoped to die,
ah didn't we?
ah Heavenly
