Lyrics

LETTERS FROM HEAVEN

verse
Her mother turned to the young girl - sat beside her on the bed
Took out a photo album - blew the dust off and she said
The person you call ?Daddy? loves you as his own
But he and I first met - when you were ten months old
She stared down at the letter - written in her Father?s hand
Ink on yellowed paper - she tried to understand
The hollowness that was always there - now she knew just why
Reading those words to herself something made her cry

chorus
When you open up this letter it will be your graduation day
You know that I would be there if I could
You?ll have your share of worries - life?s questions and uncertainties
Work through your share of heartaches like you should
But don?t be afraid you?re not alone
Reach for your dreams with all your soul
And most of all - be good

verse
She stared back at his picture - she?s got her father?s eyes
Her laugh is unmistakable - she?ll always have his smile
So handsome in his uniform a duty to perform
He made that final sacrifice the day that she was born

chorus
When you open up this letter it will be your perfect wedding day
You know that I would be there if I could
Cause marriage is a special house - rich in happiness
Built with love instead of stone and wood
So don?t be afraid be full of hope
Reach for your dreams with all your soul
But most of all - be good

bridge
She always got letters from heaven
Whenever there was a need
Somehow they arrived always right on time
Delivery guaranteed

chorus
When you open up this letter you?ll see that it will be the last
You know that I would be there if I could
So live life to the fullest - treasure every day
Take care of your mother as you should
So don?t be afraid you?re not alone
Reach for the sky with all your soul
And most of all - be good
