Heaven To Me (Jeffrey East)

Song I wrote for my family a while back. Thought today was a good day to post.

Leave your comments, and please, "like" if indeed you do.

Bless you guys,

Heaven To Me
(Song For My Family)
(Jeffrey East)

I hope heaven is a tent
By a creek
With a campfire burning
For daddy and me
I don't want no streets of gold
Just a couple fishin' poles
A cold glass
Of mama's sweet iced tea
Yeah, That's heaven to me

And I hope granddaddy is there
so I can shake his hand
rub my fingers through his hair
get the chance to finally hug
the man from pictures growing up
that I never got to chance to meet
Yeah, that's heaven to me

I can't wait, To see those gates
Open wide, What a glorious day
To meet the father and the son
To see my father and the ones
That departed for eternity
Surrounded by friends and family
(yeah more than anything) -- Second time only
That's heaven to me

I hope Jesus doesn't mind
The tears that fill my eyes
Cause it's gonna get to me
To once again hear all four parts
When the family band starts
"Each day I do a golden deed"
Yeah, That's heaven to me

Chorus:

"Each day I do, a golden deed
by helping those who are in need
my life on earth, is but a span
and so I'll do the best I can"
