If Heaven Had A Phone

I cannot dial your number,
I can't get through to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.

There is no code for heaven,
I cannot place the call,
No numbers left to call,
I reckon I've tried them all.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things I want to say.

To tell you that I love you,
And miss you every day,
How much I prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know you're okay,

I just want to speak to heaven,
Please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your loved one says they're doing fine.
