As I Sit in Heaven
As I sit in Heaven and watch you everyday
I try to let you know with signs that I never went away
I hear you when you're laughing and watch you as you sleep
I even place my arms around you to calm you as you weep
I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs so you know you're not alone
Don't feel guilty that you have life that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see
So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free
Then I know with every breath you take
You'll be taking one for me.
Love you from Heaven.
