Lyrics:

Hello God, it's me again, two a.m., room 304
Visitin' hours are over, time for our bedside tug 'o war
The sleepin' child between us may not make it through the night
I'm fightin' back the tears as she fights for her life

Well, it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven
So tell me what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever?
But right now, I need her so much more

She's much to young to be on her own
Barely just turned seven
So who will hold her hand
When she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Tell me God, do you remember, the wishes that she made?
As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake
She wants to ride a pony when she's big enough
She wants to marry her daddy when she's all grown up

Well, it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven
So tell me what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever?
But right now, I need her so much more

She's much to young to be on her own
Barely just turned seven
So who will hold her hand
When she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Lord, don't you know, she's my angel?
You've got plenty of your own
And I know you hold a place for her
But she's already got a home

Well, I don't know if you're listenin'
But prayin's all that's left to do
So I ask you Lord, have mercy
You lost a son once too

And it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven
So tell me what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever?
But right now, I need her so much more

Lord, I know once you've made up your mind
There's no use in beggin'
So if you take her with you today
Will you make sure she looks both ways?

And will you hold her hand
When she crosses the streets of Heaven?
The streets of Heaven
