By the time I get to Heaven

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 I hope she'll be on her way back home

to help me learn to love

so I won't be all alone

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 I hope I could find the words to say

more than just I Love You

there's got to be a better way

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 I hope she has forgiven me

for all that I didn't know or show

for all I didn't see

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 I hope she'll be on her way back home

to help me learn to love

so I won't be all alone

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 Hell will have frozen and melted just the same

what I would give for just one more day

just to hear her call my name

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 I will be the man she wants me to be

so she can go back and tell God

and she'll be waiting for me

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 it'll be such a sweet surprise

the thought of seeing my love again

seeing love in her eyes

 

By the time I get to Heaven

 she'll be on her way back home

to help me learn to love

so I won't be all alone
