You know, someone told me once that angels don’t exist
And that paradise was just a poor man’s dream
Without hesitation, I can say he was mistaken
‘Cause I’ve wrapped my arms around celestial wings
[G/F#]But for reasons we don’t [D/F#]know, some aren’t meant to be here long[G/F#]
And then one day the [D/F#]good Lord calls them home

Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
I may be cursed just to [G/F#]walk this earth alone
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
But I can go to the other side [G/F#]with a smile
‘Cause I knew heaven for a while

The other day I took a drive to that place up on the hill
I brought flowers and I laid them on the stone
And I sat there for some time with this runnin’ through my mind
How much we take for granted till it’s gone
[G/F#]Then I got back in my [D/F#]car and I slowly drove away[G/F#]
Knowing she was [D/F#]in a better place

Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
I may be cursed just to [G/F#]walk this earth alone
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
But I can go to the other side [G/F#]with a smile
‘Cause I knew heaven for a while

The world turns and seasons change
And rivers keep on [D/F#]runnin’ to the sea
Tears dry and hearts heal
And what is meant to [D/F#]be will always be —

Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
I may be cursed just to [G/F#]walk this earth alone
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
But I can go to the other side [G/F#]with a smile
‘Cause I knew heaven

I knew heaven, [A/F#]I knew heaven for a while
