Heavens Gate
Lyrics - Diana Primus
Music - Garry Hallman
Vocals - James Thomas

A little face looks up to the nighttime skies and says,

Twinkle twinkle little star
Tell me mommy is heaven that far
I didnA't get to say goodbye
And when you left my daddy cried
I need to come and bring you home
So me and daddy wonA't be alone

Mommy is it far to heavens gate

Can I ride my bike that far
Or maybe dad could drive us in the car
Oh mommy are you that far away
Can you come home to us and stay
Someone told me you were a star
Is that you shining up so far

Mommy is it far to heavens gate

Grandma says you are with god
IA'd trade him for my favorite fishing rod
IA'd give him everything IA've got
I know itA's not an awful lot
But maybe he will understand
How much I need to hold your hand

Mommy is it far to heavens gate

Lord, hereA's my favorite fishing rod
