Lyrics to Dancing in the Sky by Dani and Lizzy

Tell me, what does it look like in heaven?Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?Does the sun shine bright forever?Have your fears and your pain gone away?

‘Cause here on Earth it feels like everythingGood is missing since you leftAnd here on Earth, everything’s differentThere’s an emptiness

Oh-oh, II hope you’re dancing in the skyAnd I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choirAnd I hope the angels know what they haveI’ll bet it’s so nice up in Heaven since you arrived

So tell me, what do you do up in Heaven?Are your days filled with love and light?Is there music? Is there art and adventure?Tell me are you happy? Are you more alive?

‘Cause here on Earth it feels like everythingGood is missing since you leftAnd here on Earth everything’s differentThere’s an emptiness

Oh-oh, II hope you’re dancing in the skyAnd I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choirAnd I hope the angels know what they haveI’ll bet it’s so nice up in Heaven since you arrivedSince you arrived

Oh, oh(What does it look like in heaven?) Yeah, yeahOh, oh, oh-ohOh-oh, oh

Oh, oh, II hope you’re dancing in the skyAnd I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choirAnd I hope the angels know what they haveI’ll bet it’s so nice up in Heaven since you arrivedSince you arrived
