Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Would you know my name

If I saw you in Heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in Heaven?

[Chorus]

I must be strong

And carry on

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in Heaven

[Verse 2]

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in Heaven?

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in Heaven?

[Chorus]

I'll find my way

Through night and day

'Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in Heaven

[Bridge]

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knees

Time can break your heart

Have you begging, please

Begging, please

[Chorus]

Beyond the door

There's peace, I'm sure

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in Heaven

[Verse 3]

Would you know my name

If I saw you in Heaven?

Would you be the same

If I saw you in Heaven?

[Chorus]

I must be strong

And carry on

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in Heaven
