Heaven Is Holding You Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a light that stays when the sun goes down A warmth that lingers when no one's around Seventeen years like a breath of wind Gone before you know where they begin But love like that don't fade away It burns through every single day [Chorus] Emerson Gray, oh Emerson Gray Heaven is holding what we gave away But the love you left still fills this place We see your smile in every face And though our arms are empty now Your light still shows us how [Verse 2] I held you close from your very first cry Felt my whole world shift in the blink of an eye That silly laugh, that compassionate heart You were pure from the very start And when I held you at the end I promised you we'd meet again [Chorus] Emerson Gray, oh Emerson Gray Heaven is holding what we gave away But the love you left still fills this place We see your smile in every face And though our arms are empty now Your light still shows us how [Bridge] Every family prayer we whisper your name Every quiet moment you're burning like flame Faith says this goodbye is not the last page Just a door between us and a brighter stage [Verse 3] You taught us kindness without saying a word The purest love this world has heard Seventeen years of a gift so sweet Made our broken hearts complete So we'll carry you in all we do Emerson Gray, we're grateful for you [Chorus] Emerson Gray, oh Emerson Gray Heaven is holding what we gave away But the love you left still fills this place We see your smile in every face And though our arms are empty now Your light still shows us how [Outro] We'll meet again someday We love you, Emerson Gray
