Window in Heaven

Shea Rubenstein

C               G      C
Early days of younger years
C                   G         C
Full of children’s joys and fears,
          Dm
Whether school or home,
        Am
always felt alone,
      G
In a way,
           F       G
what’s a child to do?
C                     G      C
Days and months went rushing by,
     C             G       C
Bar Mitzvah in a suit and tie,
        Dm
And my loss still there,
          Am
much too deep to share,
      G
In a way,
           F       G
what’s a child to do?


Chorus
       C
But I know
           G
you were there the whole time,
         Am
Looking down
        F         G
from a window in heaven,
           C
And your touch
          G
like the gentlest breeze,
      Dm                    G
Saying, I will remember you, son.
       C
Even though
           G
you could not shake my hand,
            Am
You looked down
         F         G
from a window in heaven,
           C
And your touch
           G
like the whisper of wings,
        Dm                        G
Saying, I will be there for you, son,
      Am   G  F G into C
in a way.

C              G        C
Milestones of life flew by,
C                  G      C
Couldn’t help but wonder why
           Dm
you had to go away,
         Am
I never heard you say
            G
“You’re my son”,
           F      G
What’s a child to do?

C            G           C
At the Chupa we stood as one,
C                G    C
Being watched by everyone,
         Dm
And the tears that flowed,
      Am
both joy and sorrow,
         G
For the one
           F            G
who’s not here with me now

Chorus
        C
But I know
          G
you were there the whole time,
              Am
Through each step
           F         G
you were guiding me forward,
          C
And your touch,
         G
like a breath of fresh air,
         Dm                       G
Saying, I’ll always love you, my son.
        C
Even though
           G
you could not walk me down,
         Am
I could tell
           F             G
you were standing beside me,
           C
And your touch,
          G
like the wisdom of old,
        Dm                     G
Saying, I am so proud of you, son,
       F
in my way.

C               G     C
Now I hold him tenderly,
    C             G      C
My baby son, for all to see,
  Dm
I am overcome
      Am               G
by my actions done, today
           F      G
What’s a child to do?
    C                  G          C
My son will bear your name with pride,
C                G      C
Holding Zeide’s torch inside,
         Dm
And the part of me
          Am
which was so empty,
        G
is now full,
       F           G
as I reach out to you.


Chorus
       C
And I know
           G
you were there the whole time,
         Am
Looking down
            F          G
from your place in Shomayim,
          C
And your touch,
        G 
like a magical spell,
      Dm                       G
is embracing me tightly right now.
        C
Even though
        G
he was not on your knees,
          Am
You were here
      F          G
on a visit from Heaven,
          C
And your touch,
            G
Like the sweetest of wine;
           Dm                         G
Saying, there’ll always be, a part of me,
            F  G
in you, my so--on.
(Am F  G)     C
         My son.
