If Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If heaven was an hour it would be twilight
When the fireflies start their dancin' on the lawn
And supper's on the stove and mama's laughin'
And everybody's working day is done
If heaven was a town it would be my town
On a summer day in 1965
And everything I wanted was out there waiting
And everyone I loved was still alive
Don't cry a tear for me now baby
Comes a time we all must say good bye
And if that's what heaven's made of
You know I ain't afraid to die
If heaven was a pie it would be cherry
Cool and sweet and heavy on your tongue
And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
And there'd always be enough for everyone
If heaven was a train it'd be a fast one
To take this weary traveler round the bend
And if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one
And you'd be in my arms again
