A Letter From Heaven
I'm writing this from Heaven
Where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears
or sadness, there's just eternal
love...
When you are walking down the
street, and you've got me on
your mind, I walking in your
footsteps, only half a step behind...
And when you feel that gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face, that's me
giving you a great big hug, or just a
soft embrace...
And when it's time for you to go from
that body to be free, remember you're
you are coming here to me...
