Up In Heaven (Original Song) by Not For Long

This is an original song I wrote a few years ago for a girl who died in a car crash. This is the final version that I recorded with my acoustic band Not For Long, as a final tribute to her, though she will never be forgotten.

[Original Description From 2 Years Ago:
I dedicated this song to a girl from my school who died. I didn't know her very well to be honest. Her name was Alora Lynn Williams. She was a beautiful girl, who didn't deserve to die at such a young age. As I was reading the comments people were leaving on her myspace after she died, I couldn't help but feel some sort of sadness filling my heart. I couldn't imagine the pain and torture going through the hearts and souls of her friends and family. From the pain in my heart, stems this song, dedicated to Alora Lynn Williams, Up In Heaven.]

LYRICS:
You're all the way up in heaven,
And no one can take you down,
The angels sing songs about you,
Cause you're the most beautiful around.
Now I can't believe that you left,
And didn't say goodbye,
But all that I know,
Is that you're happy,
With your new life.

So how are you today?
What's it like?
To be above it all,
Watching us in time.
I know we're growing up,
And you're staying the same.
I just want you to know,
That we all feel this way...

Why can't you come down,
And say one more hello?
If I could see your face again,
Happiness would be all I know.

I can't believe that you would go...
But believing is all I know.
Baby, I know you didn't want this.
But some things in life are hard to miss.

While you're smiling up in heaven,
I want you to know,
Your memory will last,
Forever...
