[Verse 1]
You know someone told me once that angels don't exist
And that paradise was just a poor man's dream
Without hesitation, I can say he was mistaken
'Cause I've wrapped my arms around celestial wings

[Pre-Chorus]
But for reasons we don't know, some aren't meant to be here long
And then one day the good Lord calls them home

[Chorus]
No, I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
But I can go to the other side with a smile
'Cause I knew heaven
For a while

[Verse 2]
The other day I took a drive to that place up on the hill
I brought flowers and I laid them on the stone
And I sat there for some time with this runnin' through my mind
How much we take for granted 'til it's gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Then I got back in my car and I slowly drove away
Knowin' she was in a better place
[Chorus]
No, I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
But I can go to the other side with a smile
'Cause I knew heaven
For a while

[Bridge]
The world turns and seasons change
And rivers keep on runnin' to the sea
Tears dry and hearts heal
And what is meant to be will always be

[Chorus]
No, I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
But I can go to the other side with a smile
'Cause I knew heaven... I knew heaven
I knew heaven
For a while
For a while
