In Heaven

In Heaven

The doctors say you have to go away
To a place where there is no more pain
But before I can begin to let you go
There are some things that mommy has to know
Like, who’s going to rock you in heaven

Who is going to rock you in heaven
Who is going to hold your little hand
When bad dreams come, and you are scared at night
Who’ll be there to love and understand
And who will rock you in heaven

A big girl now, seven years old, and so wise
But sometimes late at night we compromise
Just you and me in the dark, nobody stares
When we get out that big old rocking chair
But who will rock you in heaven

Who is going to rock you in heaven
Who is going to catch you when you fall
When you are sick and hurting and alone
Who’ll be there to answer when you call
And who will rock you in heaven

The angels spoke to me in my dreams
They said, this is not as painful as it seems
For we will not let her walk all alone
When it is time for her to come home
The angels will rock her in heaven

The angels will rock her in heaven
And we will hold her little hand
No bad dreams, no sickness, and no pain
There is no cancer is our land
And we will rock her in heaven

The angels are going to rock my little girl
In heaven
