Heaven’s Lucky to Have You.

I saw a red bird flying high,
Out of a sunset sky.
I saw a sunflower growing wild,
On that ol’ road side.
Clear as a lighthouse beacon,
I could see that you are not that
Far away.
Far away.

When I need you,
You’ll be right outside my window.
I feel your arms around me,
When the wind blows.
I still think you left too soon,
But I am thankful for your time.
Heavens lucky to have you,
So was I.

I wish I could call you up,
When I mess up,
One of grandma’s recipes.
I wish we could catch up,
On life and such,
And hear you laughing at me.
But today I found a picture.
Saw that smile upon your face,
I knew everything would be okay.

When I need you,
You’ll be right outside my window.
I feel your arms around me,
When the wind blows.
I still think you left too soon,
But I am thankful for your time.
Heavens lucky to have you,
And so was I. So was I.

And I hope I make you proud,
While you are up there looking down on me.
From the best seat in the house.
When I need you,
You’ll be right outside my window.
I feel your arms around me,
When the wind blows.
I still think you left too soon,
But I am thankful for your time.
Heavens lucky to have you,
God knows how much I miss you.
Heavens lucky to have you,
So was I.
Mmm so was I.
