Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me, have you heard the story
That took place not long ago
'Bout an angel up in heaven?
They say she up and ran away from home
[Verse 2]
Word is she had unfinished business
So back on earth she had to flee
Well, you know I'm so elated, yeah
Because she's laying right here next to me
[Verse 3]
And when the world woke up that morning
And He called out her name
And when she didn't answer
Heaven will never ever, ever be
Heaven will never be the same
Never be the same
[Verse 4]
Always dreamed that it would happen
I just didn't know exactly when
All my life I'd been waiting for something amazing
Said it took a while but now I know
[Verse 5]
So tell me, can I get a witness?
If you believe in miracles, oh
And the proof I have is living
And my life will never ever be
And your life don't have to be the
[Verse 6]
At times it seems we take for granted
How precious life can be (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Just hold on and I'm sure you'll understand it (Hold on)
Bringing into this world (Into this world)
A precious boy or a girl
[Verse 7]
And when God woke up that morning
Said, where has my little angel gone?
And when she didn't answer
Heaven will never ever, ever be
Heaven will never be the
Same
Yeah, yeah
