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
