Back Together Again

Ooh, oh, oh

Ooh, oh

It's alright now

Whoa

Listen here

A good man, good woman

Hooked up and they had a couple of children

Four kids, look what the Lord did

Smilin' on my parents with a blessin'

And even though their days wouldn't be long

Mama looked around and daddy's gone

But we weren't alone

Until the Lord called her home

She's in a place with my little sister

From time to time, man, I really miss her

And as for my dad, from what I understand

He was a strong man

And I know they're back together

Papa went first and mama went last

But I ain't mad 'cause I know that

They're back together again, up in heaven

When the sun shines down, there's a smile on my face

There ain't no doubt when I think about

Where they went

And they're back together, together again

I wish I could tell 'em

All of the things I never got to tell him

But I'm sure he knows

Just like our mama him so

And even when I start stressin'

I think of what a good time they're havin'

And the bottom line is

Man, I know this

She's gone upstairs with my little sister

And I can clearly see the picture

Julie and my dad, how can I be mad?

When the Lord has brought them together

See, papa went first and mama went last

And I ain't mad 'cause I know that

They're back together again, up in heaven, yeah

As the sun shines down, there's a smile on my face

There's no doubt, there's no doubt when I think about

Where they went

'Cause they're back together again, yeah, yeah

Losin' both of my parents just wasn't in the plans

See, when I was a young man, I didn't understand

Now I'm all grown up and I'm missing your touch

The portrait's in the frame, it's just not enough

All the dreams I've been chasin' after every day

The memories just won't seem to fade away

There's only one thing, I'll tell you something

I know they're dancin' up in heaven through the Lord's grace

(Up in glory)

'Cause papa went first and mama went last

And I ain't sad, I ain't mad 'cause I know where they went

Up in Heaven, up on high, ooh

(Shines down on my face)

Whoa (Where they went)

When the sun shines down and the rain starts to pour

I know, sister, I know

You're dancin' in the sky

Said, I wrote this song about it

And I'm real, real, proud about it

I know you're dancin' in the sky, yeah
