    Lyrics:

    Would you know my name?

    If I saw you in heaven

    - recognition, if he would be in heaven, would he be happy?

    I must be strong

    And carry on - can't spend life mourning

    'Cause I know I don't belong

    Here in heaven - can't stay in heaven

    Would you hold my hand?

    If I saw you in heaven - forgiveness

    Would you help me stand?

    If I saw you in heaven

    Time can bring you down

    Time can bend your knees

    Time can break your heart

    Have you begging please


    Begging please - difficult times

    Beyond the door - Hope

    There's peace, I'm sure

    And I know there'll be no more

    Tears in heaven
