H-e-a-v-e-n that spells heaven
I want to go up there when life on earth is o'er
H-e-a-v-e-n that spells heaven
I'd love to walk along that golden shore.
There's a place I've heard a lot about and in my mind there is no doubt
That such a place is waiting up on high
I'd like to go up there someday at the end of life's highway
And say hello to friends who said goodbye.
H-e-a-v-e-n that spells heaven
I want to go up there when life on earth is o'er
H-e-a-v-e-n that spells heaven
I'd love to walk along that golden shore.

I hope the Lord will take me in up there where tears and sorrows end
Where cares and where each trouble mean no more
I hope you'll take my hand and say my boy I'm glad you're here to stay
You welcome in my home for ever more.
H-e-a-v-e-n that spells heaven
I want to go up there when life on earth is o'er
H-e-a-v-e-n that spells heaven
I'd love to walk along that golden shore...
