Lyrics

VERSE
In a chance conversation with a longtime friend
It came up how much we miss our moms
I know all good things must come to an end
And while time eases loss, it can’t break the bond

VERSE
Mom always knew how to say the right thing
To comfort me or let me hear what's real
But now that she’s gone, it’s hard to fly on one wing
All I know, all I know is how I feel

PRE-CHORUS
So if calling her up is out of the question
Should not heaven have a street address?

CHORUS
(Now) I’m going to send a letter to heaven
To the address on the curb on her street paved with gold
Yes, I’m going to send a letter to heaven
With all the love my heart can hold
101 Mom Street, City of Love
State of Heaven, zip code Way Up Above
Only death could cause us to part
I want her to know what's in my heart

SOLO/VERSE
God answers prayer; this we all know
So I prayed for guidance from on high
It came to me in a brilliant glow
Now I will never need to say goodbye

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Now that I know the address, my first letter is going out today…
