(Lorene Allen - Maggie Vaughn - Frankie Fuller)
|
We thought the baby was the answer to keep us happy in our world
|
Our prayers were answered with the darling baby girl
|
And we named her Heaven but a child's not all it takes
|
But I'll stay and I'll stay for heaven's sake
|
You often send me roses and kiss me when you leave home
|
And you pick out my shirt and tie like nothing's ever wrong
|
But we're only fooling heaven we can't make a mistake
|
I won't leave you I'll see it through for heaven's sake
|
Christmas trees and make believe for heaven's sake
|
Ginger mint and let's pretent if that's what it takes
|
Evening prayers and pigtails teddy bears and wishing wells for heaven's sake
|
Rollers case and skinned up knee and dirty face
|
I kiss her hurt until her tears are all erased
|
Baby dolls and your high heels lollipops before her meal for heaven's sake
|
