"Do birds go to heaven?" Those were the words I heard From our heartbroken daughter When we lost our pet bird Our little girl was crying I prayed for words to say Do birds go to heaven? I answered her this way Dear, when we get to heaven All the things we loved May be there if it pleases God above Will puppy dogs and kittens Be part of paradise? Do birds go to heaven? I wouldn't be surprised I put our child to bed that night And as I went to sleep I thought of all the creatures That people love and keep I dreamed I stood at heaven's door Loved ones took me in And lighting on my shoulder Was that little bird again (Spoken line:) I told our child When we get to heaven All the things we loved May be there if it pleases God above Will puppy dogs and kittens Be part of paradise? Do birds go to heaven? I wouldn't be surprised Do birds go to heaven? Sweetheart, don't be surprised
