If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight When the fireflies start their dancin on the lawn And suppers on the stove, and mammas laughin And everybodys workin day is done If heaven was a town it would be my town On a summer day in 1985 And everything i wanted was out there waitin And everyone i loved was still alive don't cry a tear for me now baby There comes a time we all must say goodbye And if that's what heavens made of You know what I ain't afraid to die If heaven was a pie it would be cherry Cool and sweet and heavy on the top And just one bite would satisfy your hunger Thered always be enough for everyone If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one To take this weary travler round the bend And if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one And you'd be in my arms again don't cry a tear for me now baby There comes a time we all must say goodbye And if that's what heavens made of You know what I ain't afraid to die
