Heaven

When You First Begin Your Journey,

You're Not Sure of Who You Are

And the Lessons That You're Learning

They Don't Seem to Take You Far

And You Just Can't Keep From Stumbling

Though You Try So Hard to Stand

And the Truth Can Be So Humbling

When It's Just Beyond Your Hand

As Though Youth Were My Invention

As Though Love Lay Undefined

To Stay Young Was My Intention

To Stay Free and Unconfined

And So I Held My Pride Above You

Oh, Yes, What a Fool Was I

Holding Back the Words, "I Love You,"

And Letting Out the Word, "Goodbye," And

Chorus:

I Was Wrong to Let You Go

I Was a Child and I Did Not Know

About the Love We Both Could Have Given

And Now You're Gone So Far Away

I Hope I See You Again One Day

But If I Don't, I Hope I See You in Heaven

Well, I Was Foolish in Those Younger Days

To Think They'd Never End

But Life Confused Me With Its Changing Ways

And I Just Could Not Comprehend

All the Magic of Those Moments

Lost, Now Light Footprints in the Sand

And While I'm Standing Here Remembering

It's So Hard to Understand That

Chorus

Now I'm Sitting in This Garden

In the Middle of My Day

And My Memories Fade and Harden

As the Years, They Slip Away

And I've Been Looking in My Mirror

At the Age Around My Eyes

Time Is Such An Early Laborer

Precision Is Its Neighbor

They Lay My Body in the Ground

But Let My Spirit Touch the Sky

Chorus

I Hope I See You in Heaven
