  • 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 everybody's workin' day is done

    If heaven was a town it would be my town
    Oh, 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 I, I ain't afraid to die

    If heaven was a pie it would be cherry
    So cool and sweet and heavy on the tongue
    And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
    And there'd always be enough for everyone

    If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one
    That could take this weary traveler '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 I, I ain't afraid to die

    Yeah, if that's what heavens made of
    You know I, I ain't afraid to die Writer/s: Gretchen Peters
