Verse 1:
C
Heaven is the face of a little girl 
C                                            F
With dark brown eyes that disappear when she smiles. 
C
Heaven is the place where she calls my name 
C                                         F
Says, Daddy please come play with me for awhile. 

Chorus: 
G                F               C
God, I know, its all of this and so much more, 
    G                   F               C
But God, You know, that this is what Im aching for. 
G                F                C
God, you know, I just can’t see beyond the door. 
C
So right now... 

Verse 2:
C
Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep, 
C                                              F
Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing. 
C
And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms, 
C                                                F
Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams 

Chorus:
    G                 F               C
And God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more, 
    G                   F               C
But God, You know, that this is what Im longing for 
G                F                C
God, you know, I just can’t see beyond the door. 

Bridge: 
C
But in my minds eye I can see a place 
           F
Where Your glory fills every empty space. 
        G
All the cancer is gone, Every mouth is fed, 
            C
And there’s no one left in the orphans bed. 
      F
Every lonely heart finds their one true love, 
           G
And theres no more goodbye, And no more not enough, 
           C       F
And theres no more enemy (no more). 

Verse 3:
C
Heaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss 
C                                                  F
And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone. 
C
Heaven is the place where she takes my hand 
C                                              F
And leads me to You, And we both run into Your arms. 

Outro:
   G                F                 C
Oh God, I know, its so much more than I can dream. 
     G          F          C
It’s far beyond anything I can conceive. 
   G                 F              C
So God, You know, Im trusting You until I see 
C
Heaven in the face of my little girl, 
C
Heaven in the face of my little girl.
