I know our days are heaven sent
Lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now
1st Verse
An angel came one winter dawn
you shoulda seen what she had on
wind was whistlin' like its rain
she left again just like she came
Chorus
I know our days are heaven sent
Lord knows I know not where they went
Shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now
2nd Verse
I move around a lot these days
honky tonks and broad freeways
the same thing that I've always done
but I'm older now and I get tired some
Chorus
I know our days are heaven sent
Lord knows I know not where they went
Shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now
3rd Verse
Those who think they hold the cards
I send out my kind regards
Those who love to who care
I'll meet you down the road somewhere
Chorus (Repeat 2x's)
I know our days are heaven sent
Lord knows I know not where the went
Shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now
I'll ever get to heaven now
