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
'Cos 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
Mmmmmmmm........
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
Mmmmmmmm........
