Stairway Of Tears To Heaven By Patty Wibberley If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, We'd walk right up to Heaven, And bring you home again. We all have broken hearts for now, But our lives will fly by fast, We can't wait to hold you Craig, Just like we did in the past. We can still see that dazzling smile on your face, Your squared shoulders that made you a man. We'll meet you again Craig, When it's the right time. Leaving behind all the cruel evils of this land. Yes, our tears WILL BE BUILDING A STAIRWAY, And our memories a lane, We'll be coming soon to meet you, Leaving behind all this heartbreaking pain. So don't worry, we'll be there to love you, And make up for all this lost time. And it won't be long til we'll hold you, When that Stairway of Tears we will climb. Copyright 2001
