Lyrics
A Peek In Heaven
© 2012 Sahlen/Starburst
I took a peek in heaven
Though I knew I couldn't stay
If only for a moment
If only for a day
A glimpse of life eternal
The reason I must pray
I'm down here on my knees
Simply trying to find my way
Standing at your doorway
Singing to the glistening moon
No wonder I've gone breathless
From a life gone by too soon
If all your joys were bottled
And all your smiles were rain
I'd drink in all those pleasures
To overcome the pain
(chorus)
I can feel a lifetime passing as I'm searching for the truth
Are the only things that last just the memories of our youth?
It's a precious golden wonder wrapped in miracles that shine
My one brief peek in heaven full of promise so divine
Instrumental interlude
(repeat chorus)
