wants her back

Lyrics

Heaven Wants Her Back

Verse 1
I've walked through miles of dust and darkness,
Wore these boots until they cracked.
Then God smiled down one Sunday morning,
And put an angel in my path.
Now coffee tastes a little sweeter,
Even hard days don't last as long.
When she wraps her arms around me,
This broken man feels strong.

Verse 2
She don't know the light she's carrying,
Or how she changes everything.
The sunrise lingers just to watch her,
Even mockingbirds stop to sing.
The moon hangs low to hear her laughter,
The stars burn brighter in her eyes.
Lord, if this is what Your grace looks like,
I'm the richest man alive.

Chorus
Heaven wants her back, I know it does,
She's borrowed from the skies above.
So every day I get beside her
Feels like another gift of love.
I won't wander, I won't leave,
No temptation's strong enough.
I'll spend this life proving she's
The woman I've been dreaming of.
If forever's written somewhere,
Lord, I pray it includes us.

Bridge
When her tears begin to fall,
Mine will never be far behind.
I'll fight every storm that finds us,
With these worn-out hands and this stubborn heart of mine.
She'll never question where I stand,
She'll never doubt my love is true.
Because every promise that I make
Starts and ends with you.

Final Chorus
Heaven wants her back someday,
But today she's here with me.
So I'll thank the Lord each morning
For a love this rare and deep.
When my final breath has found me,
And my work on earth is through,
I just hope Heaven lets me wake...
Right beside you.

Outro
If love has ever worn a face,
It's the one I kiss each night.
And if Heaven's missing one of its angels...
I understand why.
