I Wonder As I Wander

I wonder as I wander,
Out under the sky.
Why do people I care about,
Always have to die?

Are you happy where you are,
Wherever that may be?
I wonder as I wander,
Do you still think of me?

Is it nice up there in heaven?
For I know you make it there.
Are the clouds made out of marshmallows?
Do you know that I still care?

I look up at the winter sky,
And shed a single tear.
I think of all the days gone by,
I’ll always hold you dear.

I wonder as I wander,
Out under the sky.
Why do people I care about,
Always have to die?
