Hand to teary eyes brush shadows, (I see it now)
Much to my surprise a light grows. (I see it now)

No, I could not hold this child in my arms,
So I let her go and she floated to Heaven,
She's up in Heaven.

A loss, a gain,
God knows her name,
'Cause she's up in Heaven.

A gift taken away from my world, (I see it now)
No, she could not stay in this world. (I see it now)

I have few answers,
I quit asking "Why'"
Since she's lighter than air and she's floating to Heaven,
She's up in Heaven.

So near, so far,
Another star that shines up in Heaven.

I see it now,
I see it now.

No, I could not hold this child in my arms,
So I let her go and she floated to Heaven,
She's up in Heaven.

A father gives,
The Father takes,
A father gives,
The Father takes,
Her on up to Heaven.
