[Verse 1]
Hand to teary eyes
Brush shadows
(I see it now)
Much to my surprise
A light grows
(I see it now)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
A loss, a gain
God knows her name
'Cause she's up in Heaven
[Verse 2]
A gift taken away
From my world
(I see it now)
No, she could not stay
In this world
(I see it now)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
So near, so far
Another star
That shines up in Heaven
[Bridge]
I see it now
I see it now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 3]
A father gives
The Father takes
A father gives
The Father takes
Her on up to heaven
