Laceys Song

C                F              C
The moment was - custom-made to order:
      Dm             C/E             F             G
I was ridin' with my daughter on our way back from Monroe.
An' like children do, - she started playin' twenty questions,
But I never could a guessed one - would touch me to my soul.
[CHORUS:]
                  F              G               C               Am  Am/G
She said: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, - can I taste the Milky Way?
        F              G                  C              Am     Am/G
"Are we goin' there to visit, - or are we goin' there to stay?
      F            G              C              Am
"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?   (Break)
            Dm                   C/E         F
"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,
    G                 C        Am
"To help pour out the rain?"

Well, I won't lie: - I pulled that car right over,
An' I sat there on the shoulder tryin' to dry my misty eyes.
An' I whispered: "Lord, - I wanna thank you for my children.
"'Cause your innocence that fills them often takes me by surprise."
[CHORUS:]
Like: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, - can I taste the Milky Way?
"Are we goin' there to visit, - or are we goin' there to stay?
"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"

        F                G
Well, I thought about it later on,
      C          C/H   Am
An' a smile came to my face.
           Dm               C/E
An' when I tucked her in to bed,
             F               G
I got down - on my knees an' prayed.
[CHORUS:]
Lord, when I get to Heaven, - can I taste the Milky Way?
"I don't wanna come to visit - 'cause I'm comin' home to stay.
"An' I can't wait to see my family and meet Jesus face to face.
"An' do you think, Lord, you could uses one more Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"  Mmmm, can I help pour out the rain?
