IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' DOWN FROM HEAVEN

Words and Music by
Julius Zenchoff and Mickey McBride

Verse 1

JUST AS THE LORD TOOK YOU AWAY,

YOU HEARD ME SAY I'D DO MY VERY BEST,

I'D RAISE THE KIDS AS BEST I COULD,

THEY'D TURN OUT GOOD, 'CAUSE THAT WAS YOUR REQUEST,

Chorus

IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' DOWN FROM HEAVEN,

THEN I'M SURE THAT YOU MUST KNOW,

I HAVE KEPT MY WORD ON PROMISES,

THAT I MADE LONG AGO,

IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' DOWN FROM HEAVEN,

THEN YOU KNOW ONE THING IS TRUE,

IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' DOWN FROM HEAVEN,

THEN YOU KNOW HOW I MISS YOU,

Verse 2

I TAUGHT THE KIDS THEIR ABC'S,

I TAUGHT THEM PLEASE, AND THANK YOU, AND TO PRAY,

THE BOYS CAN SEW, THE GIRLS CAN THROW,

AND THEY ALL KNOW THAT CRYIN' IS OKAY,

Chorus (Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3

THE KIDS HAVE GROWN, I'M ON MY OWN,

WHEN I'M ALONE, I OFTEN SHED A TEAR,

THO' I'VE BEEN PRESSED TO DO MY BEST,

MY ONE REQUEST WAS JUST TO HAVE YOU HERE,

Chorus (Repeat Chorus)
