When I woke up in heaven, it was a surprise
It seemed like I'd just barely closed my eyes
In bed next to you
I didn't know what to do
'Cause you are my heaven, you're all that I need
And wherever you wander, I'll follow your lead
Now I've lost my way, and I can't hardly see
How to get to my heaven, where I wanna be
I met Old St. Peter, he welcomed me in
He said that I'd been washed clean of all of my sins
He said "Welcome home"
But I still felt so alone
'Cause you are my heaven, you're all that I need
And wherever you wander, I'll follow your lead
Now I've lost my way, and I can't hardly see
How to get to my heaven, where I wanna be
I said "This is lovely, and thanks just the same
But you took my way too early and ain't it a shame
My time hasn't come
So I'd like to go back home"
"'Cause he is my heaven, he's all that I need
And wherever he wanders, I'll follow his lead
Now I've lost my way, and I can't hardly see
How to get to my heaven, where I wanna be"
