Lyrics
It'll Be Like That Up There
copyright reserved Inglath Cooper and Gabe Stalnaker
The day we brought you home I was so darn proud
Flew a hot air balloon over our house
Showered flower blooms in a rainbow from the sky
And honey that sure made your mama cry
When you were five we took you to the county fair
Rode the carousel with the wind in your hair
Now at seven you're askin' what's it like in heaven
I've been thinkin' real hard about your question
It'll be like this up there
Little girls don't have a care
Rain's nothin' more than butterfly kisses
Pain's somethin' that a pony ride always fixes
Cold watermelon every single day
Big parks where kids can run and play
Old oak trees throwin' summer shade
It'll be like that up there
You can't hold sunshine in walls this cold and grey
I've been prayin' about that night and day
They say you're just waitin' on me to let you go
But honey I've gotta make sure you know
Repeat Chorus
I opened the window like you asked me to
Let that soft breeze drift on through
Honey don't you worry I'm gonna hold your hand
And I'll be right beside you till it all begins
Repeat Chorus
It'll be like that up there
