Verse 1
It's been a while since those old days,
The hallways changed, but I still know your face.
I never told you what I wanted to say,
I thought there'd always be another day.
You were a chapter I never got through,
A quiet little secret nobody knew.
Then life turned a page I wasn't prepared to read,
And suddenly you were gone from me.
Pre-Chorus
Now the years keep passing by,
And somehow you're still crossing my mind.
Chorus
How have you been up there?
Do the stars still light your way?
I've got a thousand stories saved,
That I never got to say.
The world kept moving on,
And I've changed in every way.
But sometimes I still wonder,
How have you been up there?
Verse 2
I've made mistakes and chased a dream or two,
Met some people, said goodbye to a few.
There's so much I wish that I could explain,
Like talking to an old friend again.
Sometimes a song or a photograph
Brings back memories I thought wouldn't last.
And for a moment, it feels so near,
Like somehow you could still hear.
Pre-Chorus
Maybe that's why after all this time,
Your name still lingers in my mind.
Chorus
How have you been up there?
Do the clouds feel soft at night?
I've got a thousand stories now,
And a million things to write.
The world kept moving on,
And I've changed in every way.
But sometimes I still wonder,
How have you been up there?
Bridge
If heaven has a window, maybe you're looking down,
Laughing at the little things that used to bring me around.
And if somehow you can hear me through the silence in the air,
Just know you're still remembered here.
Final Chorus
How have you been up there?
It's a question that remains.
I've carried it through all these years,
Through the sunshine and the rain.
The world went whirling, wildly wide,
While I was changing, changed inside.
But still I stumble, softly say—
“How’s heaven holding you today?”
Outro
I've got more stories waiting,
More than I can write tonight.
So if you're listening somewhere,
Beneath the stars and city lights...
How have you been up there?
I still wonder sometimes.
