Where Is Heaven - a Collaboration With Jack Blackman

(The sorrowful lover) I was first to see her, Her beauty was aglow. I moved across the room, approached her nice and slow, and told her that her smile was transcendent of Heaven. I was Airst to know her, So many years ago; and she I loved so true. How much you cannot know. Then you came to take her - To take away my heaven. ....You took away my Heaven. (The angel of death) I have known her since birth. I even watched her grow. I am the Grim Reaper, and my hand brings much woe! Her death was predestined, And thus I took your Heaven. I pity you your loss - Death is my job you know. Your own time will soon come; the time for you to go! Until then keep hoping to find your love in Heaven. Note: Jack Blackman was "The Sorrowful Lover" (he wrote the first two stanzas) I was "The Angel of Death" (I wrote the last two stanza's)
