Megan Moroney reveals tragic connection to her 9/11-inspired new song

Megan Moroney has just finished releasing her second album Am I okay?, which was released on July 12. Of the 14 songs, one title stands out – “Heaven By Noon”. The country singer recently revealed The country today Host Kelleigh Bannen said the song was written about her uncle, who was killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

“The song is inspired – a lot of people don’t know this, but my uncle died on 9/11,” she explains. “So I was kind of thinking about my aunt when I wrote the song.”

“The last thing they talked about was an oil change,” she continues. “And that’s probably not what she would have wanted to tell him if she knew it would be the last time.”

“It’s definitely a heartbreaking song.”

Moroney was born on October 9, 1997, and was just four years old at the time of the events of September 11. Her song goes beyond that one day and encompasses all of the unexpected tragedies in life and the grief we carry with us.

“Heaven By Noon” by Megan Moroney

Verse 1:

Did you know how much I love you? / Have I told you enough? / I’ve been crying since I got the call / I blame myself / I’m mad at heaven / None of this feels right / Only God knows why / I wish I knew tonight

Choir:

I know where you are / And there’s no time at all / No heartache / No more pain / Just streets of gold for you to walk / When I spoke to you this morning / I said, “I’ll see you soon” / Would have said so much more if I only knew / That you’d be in heaven by noon

Verse 2:

How does the world still turn? / And why do the stars still shine? / The strength to get up from this ground / I can’t seem to find / I’m angry at the sky / And none of it feels right / Only God knows why / But I miss you tonight

Repeat chorus

Bridge:

You got wings / In the blink of an eye / And I wish we had more time / But it was your time / So until I get there too

Repeat chorus
