Larry Norman - I Hope I'll See You In Heaven lyrics

rate me

When you first begin your journey, you're not sure just

Who you are

And the lessons that you're learning, they don't take

You very far.

And you just can't keep from stumbling, though you try

So hard to stand,

And the truth can be so humbling when it's just beyond

Your hand.

As though youth were my invention, as though love lay

Undefined,

To stay free was my intention, to stay young and

Unconfined.

And so I held my pride above you, oh, yes, what a fool

Was I,

Holding back those words "I love you," and letting out

That word goodbye.

I was wrong to let you go

I was a child and I did not know

About the love that we both could have given

And now you've gone so far away,

I hope I'll see you again someday

But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven.

I was foolish in my younger days to think they'd never

End

Life confused me with it's changing ways, and I could

Not comprehend

All the meaning in those moments now lost like

Footprints in the sand

And I'm standing here remembering, but it's so hard to

Understand.

I was wrong to let you go

I was a child and I did not know

About the love that we both could have given

And now you've gone so far away,

I hope I'll see you again someday

But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven.

Now I'm sitting in this garden in the middle of my days

And my memories drift and harden as the years they slip

Away,

And I've been looking in this mirror at the age around

My eyes

Time is such an earnest laborer, precision is his

Neighbor.

Lay my body in the ground, but let my spirit touch the

Sky.

I was wrong to let you go

I was a child and I did not know

About the love that we both could have given

And now you've gone so far away,

I hope I'll see you again someday

But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven.
