Lyrics for Heaven Is Waiting
Heaven Is Waiting
From That's What Love Can Do
(Becky Buller, Goodnight Sparky Music, BMI)
Anna, there's a storm brewin'
You and the baby better get out
Down to the cold, dark cellar
Me, I'm gonna stand here and watch the clouds
Oh, Charlie, what'll we do
If we loose the tobacco now
Can't afford for the wind to be blowin'
Or the hail to be fallin' down. And he said...
Chorus:
Now, dontcha worry
Everythin's gonna be just fine
Now, dontcha worry
Heaven is waitin' in the by and by
The twister roared through like a freight train
Caused the prairie to curse and bleed
Took Charlie to meet his maker
Put Anna in widow's weeds
Nothin' left of the dreams they planted
The little cabin and the farm where gone
But through tears of bitter mis'ry
Anna kept singin' to her orphan son. And she sang...
(Chorus)
What's left for a broken woman
But to set herself aside
On the empty plains of Missouri
When the devil won't compromise
A grown man, tall and handsome
Stands before two grassy graves
One for the pa that he doesn't remember
The other for his mother who starved herself to save him...singin'
(Chorus)
