[Verse 1] I counted headlights on the highway home, Every mile another year alone. Your photograph is fading on my phone, But I still hear you in the dial tone. [Pre-chorus] And the night keeps telling me you're gone, But my heart keeps playing your favorite song. [Chorus] When I see you again, it'll feel like heaven, Every tear we cried just fades away. When I see you again, arms wide like heaven, Love will find the words we couldn't say. Heaven, heaven — when I see you again. [Verse 2] The dance floor's empty but I see your light, Spinning through the strobes in the middle of the night. If I could rewind, I'd hold you tighter, Chase the dawn until the dark turns brighter. [Pre-chorus] No goodbye could ever be the end, 'Cause every ending finds a way to bend. [Chorus] When I see you again, it'll feel like heaven, Every tear we cried just fades away. When I see you again, arms wide like heaven, Love will find the words we couldn't say. Heaven, heaven — when I see you again. [Bridge — half-time, stripped, stretched and aching] If heaven's a placeeeee, then I've been there before — It was youuu at the door, it was youuu at the door. [Spoken — young girl's voice, soft, piano alone, slow] Daddy, can you hear me? I talk to you every night before I sleep. Mommy says you're watching from heaven. I miss you. I love you. Your baby girl misses you and loves you. Save me a seat, okay? [Final chorus — key lift, soaring, stretched] When I see you again, it'll feel like heavennnn, Every tear we cried just fades away. When I see you again, arms wide like heaven, Love will find the words we couldn't say. Heaven, heaven — when I see you, Heaven, heaven — when I see you againnn. [Outro — soft lullaby, mother singing to her sleeping daughter] Sleep now, baby... he's watching over you, From heaven, where the hurt can't reach him anymore. And when I see him again... it'll feel like heavennnn.
