Lookin' Up in Heaven by Paul Westerberg

I just bought this Paul Westerberg album, Folker, and absolutely loved this song.

Westerberg just writes the lyrics that hits you on the spot. Melodies are simple yet lovely.


Someday morning I felt afraid
Someone leaving in the world today
I looked low, I looked high

Only missed one friend

Before I go, I look high again


So I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight

They asked me to stick around

But without you it just wasn't right

I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight


Sunday evening I get the blues

Someone sleeping' in their tennis shoes

I looked low and I looked high

Only missed one friend

Before I go, I look high again


So I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight

They asked me to stick around

But without you it just wasn't right

I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight


I met a little angel, she asked me if I could step outside

"I'll make you forget her, I'll make you forget her

Baby, won't you watch me fly?"


Years go by now, now I have grown

Sunday night and I ain't alone

So you look low and I look high

And miss another friend

Before I go, I look high again

(I love you)


Lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight

They asked me to stick around

But without you it just wasn't right

So I went lookin' up in heaven

But you wasn't anywhere in sight


They invited me to stick around, you know

But I told 'em there was another place
I had to check out tonight


I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
