I got to the gate of heaven today,
After we said good-bye.
I began to miss you terribly,
Because I heard you cry.

Suddenly there was an angel,
And she asked me to enter heaven's gate.
I asked her if I could stay outside
For someone who would be late.

I wouldn't make much noise you see,
I wouldn't bark or howl.
I'll only wait here patiently,
And play with my tennis ball.

The angel said I could stay right here
And wait for you to come.
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven
If I went in alone.

So I'll wait right here, you take your time,
But keep me in your heart.
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven
Without you to warm my heart.
