Intro
C

Verse 1:
C             G         Am        C
Heaven is the face of a little girl 
C                G        Am      C           F
With dark brown eyes that disappear when she smiles. 
C             G               Am          C
Heaven is the place where she calls my name 
C           G           Am         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 I'm aching for. 
G                F                C
God, you know, I just can�t see beyond the door. 
C
So right now... 

Verse 2:
C             G            Am           C
Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep, 
C           G              Am         C         F
Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing. 
C                 G             Am      C
And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms, 
C              G        Am           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 I'm longing for 
G                F                C
God, you know, I just can�t see beyond the door. 

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

Verse 3:
C           G            Am       C
Heaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss 
C                    G          Am      C            F
And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone. 
C             G               Am          C
Heaven is the place where she takes my hand 
C               G           Am      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, I'm trusting You until I see 
C             G          Am        C
Heaven in the face of my little girl, 
C             G          Am        C
Heaven in the face of my little girl.
