Streets of Heaven

Hello God, it's me again,
2am, Room 304
Visitin' hours are over,
Time for our bedside tug-o'war
The sleeping child between us
May not make it through the night
I'm fightin' back the tears,
As she fights for her life

Well it must be kinda crowded
On the streets of heaven
So tell me,
What do You need her for?
Don't You know one day
She'll be your little girl forever?
But right now,
I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own,
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven?

Tell me God, do You remember
The wishes that she made
As she blew out the candles
On her last birthday cake?
She wants to ride a pony
When she's big enough.
She wants to marry her daddy
When she's all grown up.

Well, it must be kinda crowded
On the streets of heaven
So tell me,
What do You need her for?
Don't you know one day
She'll be your little girl forever?
But right now,
I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own,
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven?

Lord, don't You know she's my angel?
You've got plenty of your own.
And I know you hold a place for her,
But she's already got a home.
Well, I don't know if you're listenin,'
But prayin's all that's left to do.
So I ask you, Lord, have mercy.
You lost a Son once too.

And it must be kinda crowded
On the streets of heaven
So tell me,
What do You need her for?
Don't you know one day
She'll be your little girl forever?
But right now,
I need her so much more.
Lord, I know once You've made up your mind
There's no use in beggin,'
So if you take her with You today,
You make sure she looks both ways.

And would You hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven

The streets of heaven
