"If Heaven Is Not A Place To Go" lyrics
"If Heaven Is Not A Place To Go"
It has been a dream of mine to hold you in my arms
To tell you that my love is true and shelter you from storms
The road I chose a long time ago, it led me from your door
And now I am back from the shadows and rain and I cannot love you more
If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
Well, I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time
You see a soul in a tattered hat who's been out there for awhile
In my trials I've walked through fire, now I wait to share your smile
I know my roads have all run out, I have nothing but words it's true
Perhaps I can rhyme a few of them in a song for you
If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time
Now there's a place within this world, it's precious and alive
It is not distant and it is not far, it's right before our eyes
So take my hand and close your eyes and I will take you there
Have a little faith and don't lose hope and it wouldn't hurt if you said a prayer
If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time
If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time
