Analysis of Through Heaven's Sparkling Eyes



If today is marked
To be my last
And I shall take my final breath
Always know your place
Within my heart
And the past never regret
You shall remain
Within my soul
Though together we cannot be
Each breath you take
Every time you wake
Please remember me
And if I'm not here tomorrow
Please don't shed a tear
Know I am with you always
With each passing year.
Rather, look into the starlight
There you'll find me in disguise
For I'll be watching o'er you
Through heaven's sparkling eyes
