Looking Up in Heaven

Someday morning I felt afraid

Someone leaving in the world today

I looked low, I looked high

Only missed one friend

Before I go, I look high again



So I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight

They asked me to stick around

But without you it just wasn't right

I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight



Sunday evening I get the blues

Someone sleeping' in their tennis shoes

I looked low and I looked high

Only missed one friend

Before I go, I look high again



So I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight

They asked me to stick around

But without you it just wasn't right

I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight



I met a little angel, she asked me if I could step outside

"I'll make you forget her, I'll make you forget her

Baby, won't you watch me fly?"



Years go by now, now I have grown

Sunday night and I ain't alone

So you look low and I look high

And miss another friend

Before I go, I look high again

(I love you)



Lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight

They asked me to stick around

But without you it just wasn't right

So I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight



They invited me to stick around, you know

But I told 'em there was another place I had to check out tonight



I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight
