Lyrics

I got up to go to heaven today
I wish I would have known that yesterday
I would have called my parents to tell them I'm sorry for everything
I put them through in all my younger days
It started out like any other morning
Taking for granted the life I had before me
It's true what they say that it can all change in a blink
I never thought it would be me
And I saw the light as I closed my eyes
And a million little memories of my whole life
And grandpa stood there waiting with a smile on his face
And we walked right through those pearly gates
First thing I did was run and go hug grandma
She looked prettier than she ever did before
She took my hand and showed me things
I thought we're just in dreams
She said no one here can feel pain anymore
And I saw the light as I closed my eyes
And a million little memories of my whole life
Now here I am standing with a smile on my face
On the other side of those pearly gates
All that I can say is you don't know what you have
Until it's gone and you can't get it back
So mom and dad I'm sending you some angels
It's okay to be sad some days and nights
Take that trip, live your life
And when it's your time
I'll be the first face that you see on the other side
And I saw the light as I closed my eyes
And a million little memories of my whole life
I'll be right here waiting with a smile on my face
When you walk right through those pearly gates
