[Verse]
Moonlight whispers through the pines, a Southern serenade,
Truck tires spinning on this dirt road parade.
Heartbeats heavy, they thump like kick drums,
Thinking bout you, my angel, where my hope comes.
[Chorus]
What is Heaven if you ain't there?
What’s a dream if you’re nowhere near?
What kind of life doesn’t have you in it?
It’s not the one, not the one for me, no finish.
[Verse 2]
Fishing lines dangle, but I’m caught in your stare,
Every star above feels empty without you there.
Fields of gold can’t outshine your glow,
A heart without its puzzle piece is colder than snow.
[Chorus]
What is Heaven if you ain't there?
What's a prayer without your care?
What kinda story’s missing the queen?
It’s not the tale, not the tale I dream.
[Bridge]
Phantom winds carry your name on the breeze,
It lingers through hollers, bends, roots of oak trees.
When the world’s weight’s feeling too unfair,
I shout this to the sky: What’s Heaven if you’re not there?
[Chorus]
What is Heaven if you ain't there?
What’s a song without you to hear?
What’s a heart without love to give?
It’s not the life, it’s not the life to live.
