Heaven's Door
I sit here and ponder how very much
I'd like to talk with you today.
There are so many things
That we didn't get to say.
I know how much you care for me
and how much I care for you
and each time that I think of you
I know you'll miss me too.
An angel came and took you by the hand and said,
Your place was ready in Heaven, far above...
and you had to leave behind all those
that you dearly loved. You had so much
to live for, you had so much to do...
It all seems impossible that God was taking
you, and though your life on earth is past, Heaven
it starts anew. You'll live for all eternity,
just as God has promised you.
Although you've walked through Heaven's door
We are never far apart
for every time I think of you,
you're right here deep within my heart.
