Chorus:
I remember this morning clear as day
I left you at the bus stop as always
Saying I love you
And you said so too
That was the last thing I heard
From your dimpled face
Now you're just a little girl in heaven

Verse 1:
Oh, the minister broke the news to me
Offered me a hot cup of tea
But the lump in my throat
And the disbelief
I couldn't say take it away please
Cause you're not here to share it with me
Why didn't you come home?


My closet's stacked full with Christmas presents
But I'll never see your face light up again
The wrapping paper
Left on forever
The man said to give him your gifts
Help those still alive in need
I'm still waiting for you to come home

CHORUS

Verse 3:
They gave me your backpack and sent me on my way
I opened your lunch and found a PB&J
Cheerios
Your last meal
And the box is still half full in our pantry
You're the only one that ate them but they're still there
I'm still waiting for you to come home


The man down the street built you an angel
The colors are right but the face is wrong
You're an angel
Just 5 years old
But I guess you must be happy up there floating around
Your teachers will be there for you like they are now
But that means you're not coming home

CHORUS

Verse 5:
I can't be alone in this teary-eyed battle
26 other people went with you today
I'm not alone
We're not alone
You're safe where you are but you're still missed
We'll get through somehow but it's hard cause
I'm still waiting for you to come home


I'll be asking myself why my whole life
Because you had 5 years and I've had 40
5 birthday cakes
Never another
Because you've moved on, gone way up there
And I might not see you for another 50 years
But God will take care of you till I come home

CHORUS

Outro:
Ooh in heaven
See you there someday
I'll bring a teddy bear
And say
I love you
And you'll say so too
We'll be together in heaven
When I come home
