Heaven’s gate

If I could wish for anything, I wish that I'd fly, too,

So when you get to Heaven's Gate I'd walk inside with you

They talk of a day down the road, the peace that it will bring.

But they can't know the way your life touched my everything.

I hear your footsteps down the hall and I look at where you'd be

And reach for you. Instead I find, I'm only touching me.

I find myself missing you, alone inside a crowd

And want to scream with the pain, just scream it right out loud.

Some days I cry out all my tears, some days it's just a few

But there is not a day goes by, I don't cry for you.

They say that with all that I have, my life should be complete.

They don't know I long for the day when you and I will meet.

There is a hole in my heart, deeper than any sea

I never knew I'd live through the pain and pain would live with me.

I don't know how long I'll be, or how long you have to wait

But don't wander too far down the lane; I'll meet you at the Gate.

You can walk me through the Gate; I know that I've been blessed,

Then we can walk down Heaven's Lane, and you and I can rest
