I talked to God last night.
I asked him to give you,
a beautiful pair of wings.
Maybe even a halo
that through night and day,
will glow.
After 26 years of being alone,
you are finally going home.
So make sure
you've taken your dancing shoes,
and a little step with you too!
Cause Grandpa will be waiting
at the gates of Heaven for you,
with a very lovely tune.
Ready to hold you in his arms again,
so that a love for all eternity can begin.
Tell Grandma Sue I love her,
so does Daddy too!
Tell her to continue,
watching over us.
That Daddy is starting to look rough.
He misses her
and wishes she were here,
to watch her grand babies grow.
I know he thinks,
about his mother often.
He just  isn't quite ready,
to admit so.
I hear phone calls aren't permitted,
and postage isn't an option.
In that place above the sky
where streets are paved of gold,
and eagles fly high.
As I ended my talk with God...
I asked for one last favor,
the most important I say.
I asked for just one more day,
to be able to see them all.
God spoke and said child,
you see them already.
Just look deep into your heart,
and your family will never be apart.
