          Gm      A*/G           F          Eb/G
It just happened again, I wanted to call you up
         Eb2        F/Eb         Bb2
I wanted your opinion about something
     Dm          Dbaug    F2/C          G/B
It's funny how I valued it so little before
    G9                          C7sus     C7
And now that I can't have it, I value it more

Bb          F2            Am                               Bb
Why didn't God let me know? I could have had pleaded your case
       Dm                 Am
With Christmas around the corner
          Gm7                           Gm7/C
He'd have seen it was bad timing and in poor taste
              Dm   C/ Bb/ Dm                C/ Bb/ Dm
But He didn't ask me        and I didn't know
               C/ Bb/ Dm     C
It was your time          to go

Dm         C                            Bb
Couldn't cuss, couldn't cry, couldn't crawl
Dm            C                     Bb
Threw my hands up in the face of it all
    F                C/E             Dm
So this is what it's like to be the child
      /C                 Bb
Of a man who's dead and gone

          Gm/F         F              F2                  F
Well, the next time I see him it will be in a different light
        Gm/F         F               F2              F
When we look at each other all we'll see is what's right
      F/A         Dm7sus                     Bb2
And if I am indeed my father's crown, I will lay my body down
        Gm7                       Bb
At the feet of my Savior and I will sing forever
                        F              Dm7sus
With the perfection my father so desired
      Gm7/C
Every note in tune, every rhythm flawless
     Bb                         F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
