Story Behind The Song
An abstract thought that occurred to me after one of my aunts died very suddenly, leading to this song to be written.
Song Description
A song that speaks of hope for life after this world... meeting our loved ones in heaven, etc. Imagining how great it would be to receive a postcard from Heaven (delivered by an angel) and the very positive and inspirational message that postcard would have!

Lyrics
POSTCARD FROM HEAVEN
c Maggie Vida, 2003
Intro:
Verse 1:
If you could send me a postcard from Heaven?.. there?d be so much to say
Collage of photos depicting your new life?... You?ve found a new day
Scenes of beauty and radiance????..?..pictures from above
Friends and family at the banquet table??.?surrounded by love (Ref.)
Refrain:
And you?d send it by special delivery????... (by an angel)
Straight from Heaven?s gates?.directly here to me?..?.(by an angel)
Through a messenger with wings?????.sent with God?s speed
If you could send me??.???..a postcard from Heaven
Verse 2:
If you could send me a postcard from Heaven??it would comfort my heart??.
A place without any fear, pain or sadness???.we?re two worlds apart??.
You?d be telling me, ?Live your life????.??.as full as it can be?..
Someday we?ll be together??.?..you?ll be here with me.? (Ref., then bridge)
Bridge: I believe there?s a purpose in life????.we must each understand??
We?ve each been given a separate piece of the plan????. (vs. 3)
Verse 3:
If you could send me a postcard from Heaven?? I would feel you were near??..
You would sign it with kisses and hugs and??.. ?Wish you were here?
?P.S., Remember to live with hope????and love will show the way?..
Trust in God and His mighty power?..to lead you each day? (ref.)
