if I saw you in heav-en?

  8    7  9  9    8 -8 7
Would it be the same - -

if I saw you in heav-en?

here in he-av-en.

Verse 2.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.

Time can bring you down, 

  8   7   -9    7   -8
time can bend your knees.

Time can break your heart,

have you beg-ging please,

beg-ging please.

Be-yond the door

there's peace I'm sure,

-8  8  -9     -8    -8  7  -6  6
And I know there'll be no more -

  8   -8  7 -8  7 
tears in he-av-en.
