Lyrics
Postcards from Heaven
Written by Thomas Michael Riley
Seems like a lifetime since our last good-bye;
Didn?t know I?d miss you so much;
I?m no good at writing, but I?m gonna try;
Remember, I promised, I?d stay in touch.
My world?s a vacation; the kind that you dream;
No cares or worries at all;
I?m sipping? some colorful, umbrella drink;
Watching the ocean tide rise and then fall;
CHORUS
It?s a bad day on earth, but it?s pretty up here;
Storms clouds are gone now the sun re-appeared;
I?m writing this postcard to send down some cheer;
It?s a bad day on earth, but it?s pretty up here;
Aunt Bertha and Charlie said tell you hello;
They got their motor-home parked on the beach;
Their arthritis is healed now; they don?t even feel old;
Their hook-ups for cable and sewer are free.
That young hometown sweetheart from high school arrived;
Everyone?s happy she?s here;
Her pick-up was totaled out on County Road 5;
She?s in good spirits; her complexion is clear;
CHORUS
There?s ten thousand angels leaving each day;
Bringing comfort to all those in need;
The postcard I?m writing is heading? your way;
You?ll read it tonight in your dreams.
Gotta stop writing; ran out of room;
Guess that?s all the news from up here;
Give hugs to everyone; I?ll see you soon;
I love you always; wish you were here.
CHORUS
