Oh, Suzanne, I kiss your hand - Can you feel me? 
Suzanne, I kiss your head - Can you hear me? 
Suzanne, there in your bed - Are you listening? 
It's so surreal, Suzanne - What's happening? 

I say, "Please, little sister, don't go 
Please don't go into the cold" 

Oh, Suzanne, no hand or eye could ever frame you 
Suzanne, if you kiss the sky I don't blame you 
While Mom and Dad and Jimmy sang Amazing Grace 
Suzanne, I saw life fall from your pretty face 

I said, "Please, baby girl don't go 
For in this sleep who knows what dreams will come" 

You were blended in the sacred and profane - Oh, Suzanne 
I hope you hear it - we're all a little bit the same - Oh, Suzanne 
Thanksgiving is calling out your name - Oh, Suzanne 
Suzanne, I kissed your head but you weren't there 
I like to think of you floating there in the air 

I said, "Please, little girl, don't go 
For in this sleep who knows what dreams will come" 

You were blended in the sacred and profane - Oh, Suzanne 
I hope you hear it - we're all a little bit the same - Oh, Suzanne 
Thanksgiving will never be the same - Oh, Suzanne 
Suzanne, I kissed your head but you weren't there 
I like to think of you floating there in the air 

Suzanne, no hand or eye could ever frame you 
Suzanne, you kissed the sky 
I don't blame you
