Stairway To Heaven

I'll build a stairway to heavens gate, Climb the spirals into the great divide. There your name I'll defiantly state, I'll wait until they let me come inside. As I gallop along the streets of gold Calling your precious name again, Searching for your bear hug hold, In my ears your voice a sweet refrain. I'll search until your silver cloud I find Until I hear your voice so deep. Yet again I'll look into your face so kind Searching for some words to keep. For the days have been long and cold Since you left and went away. Warm embers of love to keep and hold, Maybe they'll keep the grief at bay.
