Someday morning i felt afraid
Someone leaving in the world today
I looked low, i looked high
Only missed one friend
Before i go, i look high again
So i went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
They asked me to stick around
But without you it just wasn't right
I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
Sunday evening i get the blues
Someone sleeping' in their tennis shoes
I looked low and i looked high
Only missed one friend
Before i go, i look high again
So i went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
They asked me to stick around
But without you it just wasn't right
I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
I met a little angel, she asked me if i could step outside
"i'll make you forget her, i'll make you forget her
Baby, won't you watch me fly?"
Years go by now, now i have grown
Sunday night and i ain't alone
So you look low and i look high
And miss another friend
Before i go, i look high again
(i love you)
Lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
They asked me to stick around
But without you it just wasn't right
So i went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
They invited me to stick around, you know
But i told 'em there was another place i had to check out tonight
I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
