I made you a promise the day you were mine
That I would protect you and love you forever until the end of time
Now I can't touch you or hold you in my arms today
But you'll know that I'm here whenever you need me, I'll never be far away

I might be a bird up in the sky
Landing beside you, baby don't cry
I might be a dream when you're asleep
I'll never leave you, count on me

A bright shining star to wish upon
You'll know it's me, I'm not really gone
There will be signs if you believe
And I'll be waiting for you to come home to me

I'll be there whenever you look into my children's eyes
I will be there when you're all together, when you laugh and when you cry
Because I may be gone, but my spirit lives on in everyone of you
So call out my name when ever you're lonely, I'll help you make it through

I might be a bird up in the sky
Landing beside you, baby don't cry
I might be a dream when you're asleep
I'll never leave you, count on me

A bright shining star to wish upon
You'll know it's me, I'm not really gone
There will be signs if you believe
And I'll be waiting for you to come home to me

Has anybody ever heard of heaven out there
I hear there's a place so beautiful, it's as if you all were there
I hear you when you say your prayers and when you say goodnight
So wake up tomorrow, welcome the sun, 'cause daddy's gonna be all right

Would someone tell my mom I love her so
Somebody please tell my dad I miss him, I'm sorry I had to go
And this is my message to my family and to all my friends
Starting tonight celebrate my life, I'll see you all again

I might be a bird up in the sky
Landing beside you, baby don't cry
I might be a dream when you're asleep
I'll never leave you, count on me

A bright shining star to wish upon
You'll know it's me, I'm not really gone
There will be signs if you believe
And I'll be waiting for you to come home to me
