The moment was custom-made to order:
I was ridin` with my daughter on our way back from Monroe.
An` like children do, she started playin` twenty questions,
But I never could`ve guessed one would touch me to my soul.
She said: `Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
`Are we goin` there to visit, or are we goin` there to stay?
`Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
`An` do you think that God could use another Angel,
`To help pour out the rain?`
Well, I won`t lie: I pulled that car right over,
An` I sat there on the shoulder tryin` to dry my misty eyes.
An` I whispered: `Lord, I wanna thank you for my children.
``Cause your innocence that fills them often takes me by surprise.`
Like: `Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
`Are we goin` there to visit, or are we goin` there to stay?
`Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
`An` do you think that God could use another Angel,
`To help pour out the rain?`
Well, I thought about it later on,
An` a smile came to my face.
An` when I tucked her in to bed,
I got down on my knees an` prayed.
Lord, when I get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
`I don`t wanna come to visit `cause I`m comin` home to stay?
`An` I can`t wait to see my family and meet Jesus face to face.
`An` do you think, Lord, you could use just one more Angel,
`To help pour out the rain?`
Mmmm, can I help pour out the rain?
