I look up at the sky in case He's there

In the clouds above somewhere

I need to know He'll keep you safe

Your body is closer than arm's reach

But you're high above the trees

Praying that God will take my place

'Cause I have been your saviour, your ever-loving, great protector

And now it's time

To say goodbye

'Cause Heaven's got a place for you

In my heart, I know it's true

Though I'm jealous of the gates in the blue

Of the skies 'cause they get you

And I won't let go 'til you hold me

In your arms before you leave me

'Cause Heaven's got a place for you

And it's time I give you up to someone new

I wanna be closer than I am, heat the cold of your dying hand

But only if you stay awake

'Cause I have been your saviour, your ever-loving, great protector

And I don't know why

I have to say goodbye

But Heaven's got a place for you

In my heart, I know it's true

Though I'm jealous of the gates in the blue

Of the skies 'cause they get you

And I won't let go 'til you hold me

In your arms before you leave me

'Cause Heaven's got a place for you

And it's time I give you up to someone new

But I want it all, I want it now

Your body and mind somehow

All I gave is love to you

Light will find you in the dark

And keep ahold of your heart

And though you left this Earth too soon

Heaven's got a place for you

In my heart, I know it's true

Though I'm jealous of the gates in the blue

Of the skies 'cause they get you

And I won't let go 'til you hold me

In your arms before you leave me

'Cause Heaven's got a place for you

And it's time I give you up to someone new
