Story Behind the Song
I wrote this about my Father after being inspired by a friend who was going through a similar situation...A composite story.
Lyrics
I thought that it would be a sacrifice, taking care of you
And just because you gave me life, it was something I was compelled to do
But the days we spent together and those last nights gave me more
Than all the days we were apart, everyday that came before
But heaven has you now, heaven has me waiting to see you
We talked and talked, I mostly listened, to stories sweet and stories bitter
I'd heard those tales once loud and clear, but now there was wisdom in the whisper
I'd glance up at the clock on the dresser and wonder about eternity
But you never looked at it at all, guess you knew that time was just for me.
And heaven has you now, heaven has me hoping...hoping to see you again
I'll make you so proud, you'll be waiting for me
Just behind those dark clouds, sitting angelically
and I won't be the same, and I won't want to be...everyday is someday
In a world that moves fast, I'll be slowing them down
With respect for what's past, the new vison I've found
And you be by my side and you'll live in my heart...all my life
When I think about those days, our talks, and all those quiet nights
I'm drawn back to the place where you made everything seem so right
The room it looks so different now, new curtains and the paint is fresh
But the clock still up on the dresser gives me the time to pass on just what you left
And heaven has you now...heaven has me waiting...waiting to see you again
