I got to the gate of Heaven yesterday 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'd 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
