I'm Still here

I got to the gate of heaven today,
after we said good-bye,
I began to miss you terribly,
because I heard you cry.
Suddenly there was an angel,
 and she asked me to enter heaven's gate,
I asked her if I could stay outside
for someone who would be late.
I wouldn't make much noise you see,
I wouldn't bark or howl,
I'll only wait here patiently,
and play with my tennis ball.
The angel said I could stay right here
and wait for you to come,
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven
 if I went in alone.
So I'll wait right here, you take your time,
but keep me in your heart,
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven
 without you to warm my heart.
