~Billy's 2nd year in Heaven~

Two Long Years

Oh, where have you gone, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Oh, where have you gone, darling Billy?
You have gone so far away,
Gone to heaven, gone to stay.
You were young, Bill, so young to leave your mother.

It’s been two long years, Billy boy, Billy boy,
It’s been two long years, darling Billy.
We all miss you here, dear Bill,
All our tears are falling still,
You were young, Bill, so young to leave your mother.

We all think of you each day, Billy boy, Billy boy,
We all think of you each day, darling Billy,
We all loved you from the start,
You still live within our hearts.
You were young, Bill, so young to leave your mother.

When will you come back, Billy boy, Billy boy?
When will you come back, darling Billy?
Life has never been the same,
I’m caught in a still-life frame.
You were young, Bill, too young to leave your mother.

Oh, I can’t come back from heaven, Mother dear, Mother dear,
Oh, I can’t come back from heaven, darling Mama.
But I’ll watch over you each day,
And in your heart I’ll always stay.
I was young, Mom, but not too young for heaven.

Then I’ll have to come to you, Billy boy, Billy boy,
Then I’ll have to come to you, darling Billy.
I know God has plans for me,
Though His plan I cannot see,
When the time is right, I’ll come to you in heaven.

Oh, I’ll wait for you in heaven, Mother dear, Mother dear,
Oh, I’ll wait for you in heaven, darling Mama.
I know God has plans for you,
And for all our family, too.
And when the time is right, you each will come to heaven.
