Hello God its me again 2 A.M room three o four
Visiting hours are over time for our bedside tug of war
The sleeping child between us may not make it through the night
I’m fighting’ back the tears as she fights for her life

Well it must be kind of crowded on the streets of heaven 
So tell me what do you need her for
Don’t you know one day she’ll be your little girl forever
But right now I need her so much more
She’s much to young to be on her own
Barely just turned seven
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven

Tell me God do you remember the wishes that she made
As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake
She wants to ride a pony when she’s big enough
She wants to marry her daddy when she’s all grown up

Well it must be kind of crowded on the streets of heaven 
So tell me what do you need her for
Don’t you know one day she’ll be your little girl forever
But right now I need her so much more
She’s much to young to be on her own
Barely just turned seven
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven

Lord don’t you know she’s my angel you’ve got plenty of your own
And I know you hold a place for her
But she’s already got a home
Well I don’t know if you’re listenin’ 
but prayin’s all that’s left to do
So I ask you lord have mercy you lost a son once too

And it must be kind of crowded on the streets of heaven 
So tell me what do you need her for
Don’t you know one day she’ll be your little girl forever
But right now I need her so much more

Lord I know once you’ve made up your mind 
There’s no use in beggin 
So if you take her with you today 
Will you make sure she looks both ways
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven
The streets of heaven
