She loved the flowers in her room   They helped ease the pain deep inside her   And even though she could not move   Her presence lit the universe      Sometimes she had dreams   She was soaring over golden streets   But what did they mean?   I asked her and she smiled as she said      [chorus]   "I know heaven waits for me   So don't shed a tear   We'll live eternally,   I'll be waiting for you there"      [verse 2]   I never knew her in this world   Though I heard her voice through her written words   And even as the years unfurl   My faith is nothing compared to hers      Sometimes she had dreams   She was soaring over golden streets   But what did they mean?   I asked her and she smiled as she said      [chorus]      [bridge]      And everything is perfect there   There's no more pain and no more tears   I've seen it in my dreams    And I have heard their singing in my ears   The forever song      [chorus]
