Sean McConnell - Heaven's Doors lyrics

Well, I found an old photograph of you In some boxes that I thought were gone And seeing your face made me replace The notion that I had moved on And it's foolish to talk to a memory But it helps me believe in a way That I'm not crazy for asking you questions And that you hear every word that I say So I ask you what you would tell me When I get to Heaven's doors And it could be the wind or the emotion I'm in But I swear that you've answered before And you said, "I'll tell you how proud I am of you How you look just like your father And how tall you have grown And then I'll hold you like I used to How you slept on those long winter car rides from Boston to home And then I'll tell you that I love your music Then I'll say that the apple don't fall far from the tree Then I'll tell you that you've done everything right To become the man I knew you would be." And those words still echo inside me Like a scream in a large, empty home Where the things that are said come back from the dead And times when you feel all alone And so I hold on to them like a blanket That I wrap around my confused heart And it reminds me of phrases whispered inside me That I should have known from the start So I ask you what you would tell me When I get to Heaven's doors And it could be the wind or the emotion I'm in But I swear that you've answered before And you said, "I'll tell you how proud I am of you How you look just like your father And how tall you have grown And then I'll hold you like I used to How you slept on those long winter car rides from Boston to home And then I'll you that I love your music Then I'll say that the apple don't fall far from the tree Then I'll tell you that you've done everything right To become the man I knew you would be. And then I'll tell you that you've done everything right To become the man I knew you would be."
