====================================================================

As I sit in Heaven and watch you every day, I try to let you know with signs, I never went away.

I hear you when you're laughing and watch you as you sleep.  I place my arms around you

to calm you when 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 life was taken for 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.
