If Heaven Is Not A Place To Go

It has been a dream of mine to hold you in my arms

to tell you that my love is true and shelter you from storms

the road I chose a long time ago it led me from your door

and now I am back from the shadows rain and I cannot love you more

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

I'll hold you in my thoughts forever through all time

You see a soul in a tattered hat who's been out there for awhile

and in my trials I've walked through fire now I wait to share your smile

I know my roads have all run out I have nothing but words it's true

perhaps I can rhyme a few of them in a song for you

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time

Now there's a place within this world its precious and alive

it is not distant and it is not far it's right before our eyes

so take my hand and close your eyes and I will take you there

have a little faith and don't lose hope and it wouldn't hurt if you said

a prayer

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time......

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time....
