"HEAVEN"
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE.

IF I SHOULD PASS ON IN MY SLEEP
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP.

I LEAVE MY HEART IN THE HANDS OF MY FIRST LOVE (ANDRE)
I GIVE MY SOUL TO THE ANGEL ABOVE.

I GIVE MY LOYALTY TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
TO THE LORD ABOVE I BESTOW MY EVERYTHING.

I GIVE MY POEMS TO WHOM WRITTEN FOR
I GIVE MY SMILE FOR I CANNOT SMILE ANYMORE.

I SHARE MY GRATITUDE WITH ALL AROUND
I LEND MY VOICE WITH THE GIFT OF SOUND.

I LEAVE MY TOUCH IN YOUR HANDS
I LEAVE MY MIND IN HOPES YOU’LL UNDERSTAND.

I NEVER MEANT TO LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO KIND.

I NEVER MEANT TO MAKE YOU CRY
SO BE HAPPY AND RECALL THE GOOD TIMES.

I NEVER MEANT TO MAKE YOU GRIEVE
JUST REMEMBER WE’LL BE TOGETHER WE’VE GOT ETERNITY.

SO REMEMBER MY LOVED ONES I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU
WHENEVER YOU NEED ME I WILL BE THERE CARRYING YOU THROUGH.

WE’LL BE TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN
REUNITED THROUGH THE ARMS OF HEAVEN.
