If heaven was an hour it would be twilight
The fireflies start dancing on the lawn
supper's on the stove and Mama's laughing
And everybody's working day is done
If heaven was a town it would be my town
On a summer day in nineteen sixty-five
Everything I wanted was out there waiting
Everyone I loved was still alive
Don't cry a tear for me now baby
Comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what heaven's made of
You know I ain't af-raid to die
If heaven was a pie it would be cherry
Cool and sweet and heavy on your tongue
And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
And there'd always be enough for everyone
If heaven was a train it'd be a fast one
To take this weary traveller round the bend
And if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one
And you'd be in my arms again
So don't cry a tear for me now baby
Comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what heaven's made of
You know I ain't af-raid to die
If that's what heaven's made of
I ain't afraid to die
I hope I've done it justice!
