As I sit in heaven 

As I sit in heaven and watch you every day, 

I try and let you know with signs I never went away. 

I hear you when you’re laughing and I watch you as you sleep

 I even placed 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 and send you signs so you know you’re not alone 

don’t feel guilty that you have life, 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 each breath you take you’ll be taking one for me.
