If Heaven Lyrics - The Essential Gretchen Peters - Gretchen Peters

If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight 

When the fireflies start their dancin' on the lawn 

And supper's on the stove and mamma's laughin' 

And everybody's working day is done. 

If heaven was a town it would be my town 

On a summer day in 1965 

When everything I wanted was out there waitin' 

And everyone I loved was still alive. 

Don't cry a tear for me now baby 

Comes a time we all must say goodbye 

And if that's what heaven's made of 

You know I ain't afraid to die. 

If heaven was a pie it would be cherry 

Cool and sweet and heavy on your tongue 

And just one bite would satisfy your hunger 

And there'd always be enough for everyone. 

If heaven was a train it'd be a fast one 

To take this weary traveller 'round the bend 

And if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one 

And you'd be in my arms again. 

Don't cry a tear for me now baby 

Comes a time we all must say goodbye 

And if that's what heaven's made of 

You know I ain't afraid to die.
