If Heaven is Not a Place to Go - Ray Wylie Hubbard

It has been a dream of mine to hold you in my arms

To tell you that my love is true and shelter you from storms

The road I chose a long time ago, it led me from your door

And now I am back from the shadows and rain and I cannot love you more

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

Well I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time

You see a soul in a tattered hat who’s been out there for awhile

In my trials I’ve walked through fire, now I wait to share your smile

I know my roads have all run out, I have nothing but words it’s true

Perhaps I can rhyme a few of them in a song for you

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time

Now there’s a place within this world, it’s precious and alive

It is not distant and it is not far, it’s right before our eyes

So take my hand and close your eyes and I will take you there

Have a little faith and don’t lose hope and it wouldn’t hurt if you said a

prayer

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind

I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time
