Lyrics
Heaven Knows
I called Marilyn today
She turned 62
10 years ago
She didn't know if she would make it through
Another day, another year
Now she's on the other end of the line
Thanking me, Thanking you
Thanking God
For your sacrifice
Chorus:
Heaven knows
I didn't want to lose you
Heaven knows
I'll always miss your smile
I may never know
Why God chose to take you
But Heaven knows
You left a legacy behind
Talking to Marilyn
Brought me back 9 years
To a hospital room
Full of machines and fear
Where I prayer for answers and strength
To help me sign
Away your life
And my hope that you'd be fine
Chorus:
Heaven knows
I didn't want to lose you
Heaven knows
I'll always miss your smile
I may never know
Why God chose to take you
But Heaven knows
You left a legacy behind
Bridge:
Somewhere your heart still beats
And a little boy plays ball
And someone wakes up
And sees the world
Through brand new eyes
Chorus:
Heaven knows
I didn't want to lose you
Heaven knows
I'll always miss your smile
I may never know
Why God chose to take you
But Heaven knows
You left a legacy behind
