Window Open Wide









If we could open a window to heaven

and call out to friends passed away

We wouldn't be so lonely

for we'd still see them everyday.



We could talk about current events

or how the kids are doing in school.

And we'd talk about the weather

how the days seem suddenly cool.



We'd chitchat about mundane things

like the stupid stuff I've done,

and the car trip taken to the city

just to have a little fun.



How I wish I had that window

I'd throw it open wide

and tell you things I thought, my friend

I kept too long inside.



You really were my best friend

This truth I've come to see

But why did it take your death

for this to dawn on me?



I still think of things to tell you

then remember you aren't there.

The sadness that overwhelms me

sometimes is too much to bear.



So in my mind I'll keep a window

and when it's open wide

You'll know my friend, I'd like to chat

and you're invited here inside.
