A LITTLE BOY WAS WAITING

FOR HIS DADDY ONE DAY,

IT WAS TIME TO MEET HIM,

WHEN HE HEARD HIS MOMMY SAY:

"COME TO MOMMY, DARLING.

  PLEASE DO NOT CRY,

DADDY'S GONE TO HEAVEN,

WAY UP IN THE SKY."

"HOW FAR IS HEAVEN?

WHEN CAN I GO,

TO SEE MY DADDY,

HE'S THERE I KNOW.

HOW FAR IS HEAVEN?

LET'S GO TONIGHT.

I WANT MY DADDY

TO HOLD ME TIGHT."

"HOW FAR IS HEAVEN?

WHEN CAN I GO,

TO SEE MY DADDY,

HE'S THERE I KNOW.

HOW FAR IS HEAVEN?

LET'S GO TONIGHT.

I WANT MY DADDY

TO HOLD ME TIGHT."

"HE WAS CALLED SO SUDDENLY,

AND COULD NOT SAY GOODBYE.

I KNOW THAT HE'S IN HEAVEN,

WE'LL MEET HIM BY AND BY."

THE LITTLE BOY TREMBLED,

HIS TEARS HE COULD NOT HIDE.

HE LOOKED UP TOWARD HEAVEN,

AND THEN HE REPLIED:
