| 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 |
