We thought the baby was the answer to keep us happy in our world

Our prayers were answered with the darling baby girl

And we named her Heaven but a child's not all it takes

But I'll stay and I'll stay for Heaven's sake



You often send me roses and kiss me when you leave home

And you pick out my shirt and tie like nothing's ever wrong

But we're only fooling heaven we can't make a mistake

I won't leave you I'll see it through for Heaven's sake



Christmas trees and make believe for heaven's sake

Ginger mint and let's pretent if that's what it takes

Evening prayers and pigtails teddy bears and wishing wells

For Heaven's sake

Rollers case and skinned up knee and dirty face

I kiss her hurt until her tears are all erased

Baby dolls and your high heels lollipops before her meal

For Heaven's sake
