"Phoning Heaven" lyrics

We don't talk about you often
But you're long from forgotten
Been forever since we've seen your face
But there ain't nothing against you
It's just easier to live through
This life thinkin' you're one call away
Only one call away

And ever since the day you parted
You left us all so brokenhearted
Memories of you runnin' through our minds
Well, I found your old contact
In a phone book a good while back
And I just wanna call it sometimes
In hopes you'll be on the other line

If I could make a call up to Heaven
I'd be phoning you 24/7
Not a single day'd pass without you hearing a ring
Had to put me on speaker, hear them angels sing

Each time I cry over you leaving
I dial your phone hoping you're receiving
A ring from me to you up above
And though the phone goes straight to voicemail
Can't help from thinkin' it won't fail
That maybe one day you'll pick up
And you'd share a few words from above

If I could make a call up to Heaven
I'd be phoning you 24/7
Not a single day'd pass without you hearing a ring
You could tell me all about the good Lord
While I'm here wishin' I could do more
Than to talk to you only in my dreams
At least there, Heaven ain't as far as it seems

If I could make a call up to Heaven
I'd be phoning you 24/7
Not a single day'd pass without you hearing a ring
Had to put me on speaker, hear them angels sing
