Lyrics
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heav en?
Would you be the same
if I saw you in heav en?
I must be strong
and car ry on,
’cause I know I don’t be long
here in heav en.
Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heav en?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heav en?
I’ll find my way
through night and day,
’cause I know I just can’t stay
here in heav en.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break the heart, have you beg gin’ please,
beg gin’ please.
Be yond the door
there’s peace, I’m sure.
And I know there’ll be no more
tears in heav en.
