"If Heaven Had A Weekend" lyrics

We'd all get to fish with our grandpas
Even though God's called him home
Eat Sunday supper with Grandma
Even long after she's gone
That once in a lifetimer bird dog
It wouldn't be so hard to lose
If once every week they could just spread their wings
And come back for a day or two

And there would be tears
But not near as many
And there'd still be time
To make us some memories
And saying goodbye
Wouldn't feel so much like they were leaving
If heaven had a weekend

That clock on the wall wouldn't scare me
Growing old wouldn't be quite as bad
We wouldn't be counting the moments
'Til we're losing our moms and our dads
And the friends that the Good Lord takes way too soon
Wouldn't just be a name on a stone
And I'd have an ice-cold beer waiting
For the ones that didn't make it back home

There would be tears
But not near as many
And there'd still be time
To make us some memories
And saying goodbye
Wouldn't feel so much like they were leaving
If heaven had a weekend

A couple day getaway
To come back and see
All the ones that they left behind
Here on the other side

And there would be tears
But not near as many
And there'd still be time
To make us some memories
And saying goodbye
Wouldn't feel so much like they were leaving, yeah
There wouldn't be years that we take for granted
Wishing like hell for just one more minute
To look in your eyes, Lord just besides when we're sleeping
If heaven had a weekend
If heaven had a weekend
