Heaven Anniversary

Eleven years ago today, Katie went to heaven. This song was written a few months after...

Heaven Should Be Happy Now

Every place I go, everywhere I turn
I see a little girl that reminds me of her
Curly blonde hair, big blue eyes
That wide-eyed look of such sweet surprise
And every day I live, my heart yearns
Because a closer look reveals that it’s not her

Heaven should be happy now
It has another angel
A seven-year old angel
To add to the chorus
Heaven should be singing now
It has our little Katie
Oh, my darling sweet girl
Heaven is now yours

Every night I pray for a healing hand
To touch my broken heart and help me understand
That she’s happy and free; she’s not in any pain
And if we are Christians, we will see her again
But every breath I take, I miss her smile
And wish that I could hold her for just a little while

Heaven should be happy now
With its newest angel
A beautiful angel
To sit at the throne
Heaven is rejoicing now
With our little Katie
Sweetest loving baby
Heaven is your home

Heaven should be happy now
Lighting many candles
To celebrate the moment
And sing in angel choirs
Heaven will be praying for
Katie’s mourning family
Praying that we know someday
Heaven will be ours
