I go to the gate of heaven today, after we said goodbye
I began to miss you terribly, because I heard you cry
Suddenly there was an angel, and she asked me to enter heaven's gate
I asked her if I could stay outside for someone who would be late
I wouldn't make much noise you see, I wouldn't bark or howl
I'll only wait here patiently and play with my tennis ball
The angel said I could stay right here and wait for you to come
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven if I went in alone
So I'll wait right here, you take your time, but keep me in your heart
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven without you to warm my heart.
