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
