Heaven (Early Version)

Lyrics

[Chorus] Heaven must be beautiful right now 'Cause they got you, baby 'Cause they got you, babe (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Heaven must be beautiful right now 'Cause they got you, baby 'Cause they got you, babe (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) [Verse 1] Well, yesterday you were in front of me Woke up this morning, all a sudden you're a memory Ooh, if life is as short as they say it is I guess we'll meet again sooner than we think we will (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) I thought if I looked around, you'd always be there If I fly or fall, you'd pick me up and tell me "keep believin'" My heart stopped beatin' soon as you stopped breathin' I got on my knees and I don't care who sees me Heaven's gotta wait because I need you They say a picture says a thousand words But I would trade a thousand pictures to hear one of yours And I've been saying prayers like I was writing you letters 'Cause if heaven's far like I think it is you wouldn't get 'em (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (you're so far away) So yes, the distance is makin' it harder I can't just call you up and laugh with you the way we used to Ooh, this world isn't good enough, it don't deserve you 'Cause you was an angel all along and now God returned you and...

But did I ever thank you? I meant it every day Please, don't say it's too late to pay homage Never called yourself a hero, but you never disappointed me You think you're so in control, but boy, we don't even know what's comin' 'round I should be countin' out my blessin's like I'm countin' down seconds 'Cause I can only say goodbye for now, for now [Chorus] I know Heaven must be beautiful right now 'Cause they got you, baby 'Cause they got you, babe (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) I know Heaven must be beautiful right now 'Cause they got you, baby 'Cause they got you, (babe) you, you (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) I know...
