Waiting

I got to the gate of Heaven yesterday

after we said good-bye.

I began to miss you terribly,

because I heard you cry.

 

Suddenly there was an Angel and she asked me

to enter Heaven's gate.

I asked her if I could stay outside

for someone who'd be late.

 

I wouldn't make much noise you see,

I wouldn't bark or howl.

I'll only wait here patiently

and play with my tennis ball.

 

The Angel said I could stay right here

and wait for you to come.

Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven

if I went in alone.

 

So I'll wait right here, you take your time,

but keep me in your heart.

Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven

without you to warm my heart.
