19. Gold Star Wives Day

For my sweetheart on this Gold Star Wives Day.  These are the lyrics I re-wrote to the song I Wonder by Kellie Pickler, © 2006.


Up There In Heaven

Every day I think about you
I wonder if you’re up there somewhere thinking about me.

Trying my best to carry on
But, baby, I don’t feel so strong
Now you are gone.

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is an empty space where you used to be.
Do you know how much I miss you every day?

I hope the weather’s nice up there in heaven,
With sunny skies and angels running free.
I pray one day I’ll make it up to heaven,
And that you’re waiting there for me.

It feels so empty in our home.
You know I hate to be alone
Without you here.

Still can’t believe what they had to say
When they came by our door that day
And said you were gone.

And I took that flag, I held it tight.
I know you’d say it’ll be all right,
But when they took your life, they took away mine too.

Oh, I hope the weather’s nice up there in heaven,
With sunny skies and angels running free.
I pray one day I’ll make it up to heaven,
And that you’re waiting there for me.

Just move on.
That’s what they say.
But it’s so hard to do,
‘Cause I love you.

Well, I hope the weather’s nice up there in heaven,
And just in case you’re up there missing me,
One day I will make it there to heaven,
And we will be together
Oh, we will be together,
Yes, we will be together eternally.
