The waitress brought another drink
He’d been sitting for hours it seems
She’d been gone a year now
And he still held her in his dreams
A pretty lady came to his table
And asked if he wanted to dance
He didn’t understand why
She’d even given him a glance
He tried to say no thank you
But she took him by the hand
And led him to the dance floor
To a place close by the band
She held him close against her
As they danced to a slow soft song
She said "please don’t talk, just listen
I can’t stay here with you long"
"God sent me here to tell you
That Heaven got your call
It just took a while to answer it
He wasn’t ignoring you at all"
"You know, she’s right here with you
Even though she’s out of sight
She said to say she loves you
And things will work out alright"
"She knows about your hurting
And she knows how much you cry
And she knows the world around you
Is slowly passing by"
"She says for me to tell you
That her love will never die
And for you to go on living
There’s no need for you to cry"
Then he felt a gentle touch,
And he smelled her sweet perfume
When he turned to look he saw her
As she floated from the room
As she waved goodbye and threw a kiss
He saw the wings grow from her back
He knew he’d placed his call to Heaven…
…and Heaven had called him back
Refrain (Chorus):
As she waved goodbye and threw a kiss
He saw the wings grow from her back
He knew he’d placed his call to Heaven…
…and Heaven had called him back
