"I Saw A Glimpse" lyrics

"I Saw A Glimpse"

I saw a glimpse of heaven or at least I think I did
All my loved ones came 'round to hear me play a tune for them
Oh my darling, my darling
Oh my darling, witness cloud
Will you stay with me forever if your name is in my mouth?

I saw a glimpse of heaven, or at least I think I did
All the martyrs circled 'round to bless with holy water's power
Oh my darling, my darling
Be not afraid to speak
For the final hour's coming
You may weep but still must speak

I saw a glimpse of the future, or at least I think I did
My child was in a firetruck, running after every flame
Then his future looked inside me and asked plain as day
"Oh dear Mama, dear Mama, had you done all that you could?
Oh Mama, dear Mama, I love and wish you would"

I saw a glimpse of the future, or at least I think I did
A crowd was in a gathering place, such focus on their face
They sang a song of triumph and the tone traveled for miles
Oh my darling, my darling
There will be no more regret

Let me hold you in my arms, so close
For you I won't hold back
I will love you to the end of time
And I'll die over that fact

Oh my darling, my darling
Let us make love through the night
For tomorrow's dawn comes early
At tomorrow's dawn we fight
