Verse:
It was a perfect day in the middle of spring
Two Coca-Colas and a front porch swing

Me and my Grandpa shootin' the breeze
About the time the sun was settin'
We got to talkin' about Heaven

And I asked him how he thought it would be
He said now and then God sends a glimpse
And in my mind, I think Heaven is a lot like this


Chorus:
It's a ride in the back of an old Chevrolet

It's a cool glass of water on a summer day
It's the smell of fried chicken at Grandma's house
An afternoon nap on a comfortable couch

It's a place I know you don't want to miss
Yeah, in my mind, I think Heaven is a lot like this


Verse:
A hot Saturday on the lake with friends
Tire tube floats and a rope on a limb

One final fling before senior year would end
We talked about how life would change
Thinking back to prom night and football games

I still pull out that yearbook now and then
Some of the best times on my list
And in my mind, I think Heaven is a lot like this


Chorus:
It's the high school game when you hit the home run

And the roar of the crowd is cheerin' you on
It's fishin' with Dad till the sun sinks down
A photo with Mom in your cap and gown

I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess
Then in my mind, I think Heaven is a lot like this


Bridge:
I grew up and met the girl of my dreams
Then beneath the stars, got down on one knee

And my nervous heart was poundin' in my chest
But Heaven came to earth the moment she said "yes"/


Chorus:
It's sayin' "I do" to the love of your life
It's holdin' your baby for the very first time

It's snugglin' up with your family
Watchin' Andy Griffith on the TV
It's "I love you, Daddy" before a good night kiss

Yeah, in my mind, I think Heaven is a lot like this

Verse:

It was 2 a.m. when Mamma called
Right away I knew somethin' was wrong
Her shaky voice said "Grandpa ain't got long"

I rushed over and sat beside his bed
We laughed about good times we had
Holdin' back the tears and tryin' to be strong

I put my hand down on his wrist
And said, "In my mind, I think Heaven is a lot like this


Chorus:
It's Jesus wipin' away your final tears
Kissin' Grandma again after all these years

It's a sight too colorful to paint with words
A heavenly choir like you've never heard
It's a warm embrace from everyone you've missed

Yeah in my mind, I think Heaven is a lot like this"
Heaven is a lot like this, Heaven is a lot like this
