Heaven for a While

You know someone told me once

That angels don't exist

And that paradise was just a poor mans dream

Without hesitation

I can say he was mistaken

Cause I've wrapped my arms around celestial wings

But for reasons we don't know, some aren't meant to be here long,

And then one day the good lord calls them home

Now I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny

I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

But I can go to the other side with a smile

Cause I knew heaven for a while

The other day I took a drive

To that place up on the hill

I brought flowers and I laid them on the stone

And I sat there for some time

With this runnin' through my mind

How much we take for granted till it's gone

Then I got back in my car and slowly drove away

Knowing she was in a better place

Now I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny

I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

But I can go to the other side with a smile

Cause I knew heaven for a while

The world turns and seasons change

And rivers keep on runnin' to the sea

Tears dry and hearts heal

And what is meant to be will always be

Now I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny

I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

But I can go to the other side with a smile

Cause I knew heaven for a while
