FOR MY CAROL. one day in heaven

If I could only spend a day in heaven,
Then I would spend the day with you.
For a day would be enough for me,
To love you as I do.

I would make that day last an eternity,
Our love would be renewed.
For we would be as we were ment to be,
Entrenched in love forever, Just me and you.

If only I could spend a day in heaven,
As on earth it's always been.
Since the day that I first met you,
Our love has been eternally true.

I know that dementia may take me,
Before it's time for me to go.
As I walk down that lonely path,
There's one thing dearest I'd say to you.

That is if I should only spend,
One day in heaven,
Then it would be worth, The
eternity I spent on earth with you.
