Rockin In Heaven
(R. Sylvia / R. Nichols)
Why did you have to leave
when everybody wanted you to stay?
Why did you have to go my friend
with so many songs left to play?
Where are you headed now?
Are you playing in a heavenly band?
Do they take long solos and give you room?
Can they help us to understand?
Just let your friends back home
know that you’re okay
And everything will be allright
And that you finally found peace and love today
And you’re rockin in Heaven tonight
So now you’re on your way on your journey into the light
You’re so far away and still so close by
And we’ll look for the signs that you’ll give us every day
The sunsets and mountains high
will just take your breath away
(chorus)
Staring right up into Heaven
I see you looking back at me
Now you’re free (free)
Why did you have to leave
when everybody wanted you to stay?
