Story Behind the Song
Based on a true story. Written for my daughter, who at the time, was 4. Out of the mouths of babes!!!!!
Lyrics
THE MOMENT WAS CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER
I WAS RIDIN' WITH MY DAUGHTER, ON MY WAY BACK FROM MONROE
AND LIKE CHILDREN DO, SHE STARTED PLAYIN' TWENTY QUESTIONS
BUT I NEVER WOULD'VE GUESSED THAT ONE COULD TOUCH ME TO MY SOUL
SHE SAID…
CHORUS # 1
DADDY, WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN, CAN I TASTE THE MILKY WAY?
ARE WE GOIN' THERE TO VISIT, OR ARE WE GOIN' THERE TO STAY?
AM I GONNA SEE MY GRANDPA…CAN I HAVE A PAIR OF WINGS?
AND DO YOU THINK THAT GOD COULD USE ANOTHER ANGEL…
TO HELP POUR OUT THE RAIN?
WELL I WON’T LIE, I PULLED THAT CAR RIGHT OVER
AND I SAT THERE ON THE SHOULDER,TRYIN' TO DRY MY MISTY EYES
AND I WHISPERED, "LORD, I WANNA THANK YOU FOR MY CHILDREN
'CAUSE YOUR INNOCENCE THAT FILLS THEM
OFTEN TAKES ME BY SURPRISE"…LIKE…
CHORUS # 1
BRIDGE
WELL, I THOUGHT ABOUT IT LATER ON,
AND A SMILE CAME TO MY FACE
AND WHEN I TUCKED HER INTO BED,
I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES AND PRAYED…
CHORUS # 2
LORD, WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN, CAN I TASTE THE MILKY WAY
I DON'T WANNA COME TO VISIT, 'CAUSE I'M COMIN' HOME TO STAY
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY FAMILY, AND MEET JESUS FACE TO FACE…
AND DO YOU THINK, LORD, YOU COULD USE JUST ONE MORE ANGEL
TO HELP POUR OUT THE RAIN?
CAN I HELP POUR OUT THE RAIN?
