I never had a day quite like today it was a bad day
At first I heard the news
They said that it was you I don't believe them
Oh no, that's when they told me you're in heaven
Heaven isn't for the angels
And heaven isn't in the sky
It's a little place here on Earth
You and I
A week or so ago I held you close
So tight I don't let go
How could you be gone left me all alone
I want to see you
Oh no, I can't see you you're in heaven
Heaven isn't for the angels
And heaven isn't in the sky
It's a little place here on Earth
You and I
We met up at the church and said a kindly word
He was a good man a strong man a right and never wrong man
Preacher came and said bless his little head
Now he's in heaven
Oh no, don't you understand we were in heaven
Heaven isn't for the angels
And heaven isn't in the sky
It's a little place here on Earth
You and I
