[Chorus]

             
Would you know

                 
 my name,
            
 If I saw you 

              
in heaven,

 my hand 
            
 If I saw you 

         
in heaven 
             
Would you help

                
 me stand 
            
 If I saw you 

              
in heaven.

Time can bend

Time can break

                  
 your heart 
              
Have you beggi
