Letter of permission to Heaven

Intro

Mmm…

Ohhh…

If I could take one walk tonight…

I know where I would go…

Verse 1

Can I take a walk up to heaven

Just to watch you sleep awhile

Stand beside the gates in silence

Only just to see your smile

And when the morning light surrounds you

When your eyes begin to shine

I would take your hand so gently

Bring you back and make you mine

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need to call your number

Heaven don’t got phones to ring

And the other lines stay crowded

With broken hearts and missing things

We don’t need no roll call, darling

Love already knows our names

Even worlds apart can’t stop it

Even death can’t break these chains

Chorus

I wrote a letter up to heaven

Said I need to borrow you

For the rest of all my lifetime

For the dreams we didn’t do

But I think I got here early

God knows I waited far too long

If your voice still lives inside me

Then your heart still leads me on

Come back through the stars and find me

If only for a little while

I would trade my tears forever

Just to see your face and smile

Verse 2

Every room still holds your shadow

Every door still speaks your name

I still turn to tell you something

Then remember nothing’s changed

I still save a space beside me

Still reach over in my sleep

Still hear laughter in the silence

Still got promises to keep

Pre-Chorus 2

People say that time will heal me

But they never loved like this

Some hearts keep on beating broken

Some souls live inside the miss

Chorus

I wrote a letter up to heaven

Said I need to borrow you

For the rest of all my lifetime

For the dreams we didn’t do

But I think I got here early

God knows I waited far too long

If your voice still lives inside me

Then your heart still leads me on

Come back through the stars and find me

If only for a little while

I would trade my tears forever

Just to see your face and smile

Bridge

If love can cross the sky above me

If memory can breathe again

Then meet me in the quiet midnight

Till I hold your hand again

Final Chorus / Outro

I wrote a letter up to heaven

Hope they let it through the blue

If forever means remembering

Then forever lives in you

Can I take one walk to heaven…

Just to bring you back with me

I am not ready to live there yet

So come home and set me free

Bring peace back to this house tonight

Bring warmth back to these empty rooms

Till the day we meet in heaven’s light

Come home beneath the moon…

Mmm…

Ohhh…
