Sept. 11th is a day few of us who were impacted by the tragedy will ever forget. I have great respect for those whose lives were swept away while trying to save others. But let's not forget also their survivors whose loss and suffering continues.
Heaven Knows
(verse 1)
He picked a flower and put it in her hair
Two young lovers, just living life without a care
And near the edge of the waters
Of Lower New York Bay
He finally got the nerve to ask the girl, "Will you marry me?"
And he said
(chorus)
Heaven knows I need your love
And you know you have mine too
For as long as I live, I'll always love you
Heaven knows I need your love (Heaven knows)
(verse 2)
He died a hero the day the towers fell
A proud fireman who served his country well
She picked a flower and laid it on his stone
& Said I’ll be missing you ‘til Jesus calls me home
(repeat chorus)
