Heaven for a While - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You know someone told me once that angels don't exist

And that paradise was just a poor man's dream

Without hesitation, I can say he was mistaken

'Cause I've wrapped my arms around celestial wings

But for reasons we don't know, some aren't meant to be here long

And then one day the good Lord calls them home

No, I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny

I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

But I can go to the other side with a smile

'Cause I knew heaven

For a while

The other day I took a drive to that place up on the hill

I brought flowers and I laid them on the stone

And I sat there for some time with this runnin' through my mind

How much we take for granted 'til it's gone

Then I got back in my car and I slowly drove away

Knowin' she was in a better place

No, I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny

I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

But I can go to the other side with a smile

'Cause I knew heaven

For a while

The world turns and seasons change

And rivers keep on runnin' to the sea

Tears dry and hearts heal

And what is meant to be will always be

No, I may never find peace or fulfill some destiny

I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

But I can go to the other side with a smile

'Cause I knew heaven... I knew heaven

I knew heaven

For a while
