If heaven was an hour it would be twilight when the fireflies start their dancin’ on the lawn and supper’s on the stove and mama’s laughin’ and everybody’s working day is done
If heaven was a town it would be my town on a summer day in 1965 and everything i wanted was out there waiting and everyone i loved was still alive
Chorus: don’t cry a tear for me now baby comes a time we all must say good bye and if that’s what heaven’s made of you know i ain’t afraid to die
If heaven was a pie it would be cherry cool and sweet and heavy on your tongue and just one bite would satisfy your hunger and there’d always be enough for everyone if heaven was a train it’d be a fast one to take this weary traveler round the bend and if heaven was a tear it’d be my last one and you’d be in my arms again.
