  • When he reached the gates of heaven
    He didn't understand
    He knew that folks were coming over
    Or was it all a dream?
    Was it all a crazy dream?

    He saw them playing there before him
    What were they doing there?
    It felt like home, It must be alright
    Or is it just a dream?
    Is it just a crazy dream?

    Memories replay before him
    All the tiny moments of his life
    Laying round in bed on a Saturday morning
    Two daughters and a wife
    Two daughters and a beautiful wife

    Meanwhile on Earth his friends came over
    Shocked and horrified
    Dolls and flowers at the storefront
    Everybody cried
    Everybody cried and cried

    Is there vengeance up in heaven?
    Are those things left behind?
    Maybe everyday is Saturday morning
    Two daughters and a wife
    Two daughters and a beautiful wife
    Two daughters and a beautiful wife Writer/s: PATTERSON HOOD
