My niece died, less than a month old. To make matters worse, she was three months early, anyhow… …we are looking for a song that says something about rocking chairs in heaven, a baby in heaven, angels, etc… I don’t know who sings it, or anything like that. All that I know, is what I just told you. Please help us, it’s very important. We want this to be played at the funeral tomorrow. It is a religious song, obviously. Thanks to anyone who helps, it will mean a lot to us all. ---

Not a religious song, but could you be looking for [“Tears in Heaven,”](http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~harel/cgi/page/htmlit?Tears_In_Heaven.html) by Eric Clapton? He wrote it after his 4-year-old son Conor died by falling out a window. It’s pretty popular and sheet music should be easy to find. It would be appropriate for a funeral. My condolences to your family. ---

Uhm… I don’t know what it could be but maybe the Mods could move this to Cafe Society? Better chance there of finding it… ---

There’s also _Holes in the Floor of Heaven_, by Steve Wariner. It’s a country song, not a specifically religious one, and isn’t about a baby, so prolly is not what you’re looking for. But anyway, you can find the lyrics [here](http://www.coquetshack.com/lyrics/Lyrics_H/Holes_In_The_Floor_of_Heaven0112.htm) Sorry for your loss. ☹ ---

Thanks so far everyone. I sorta posted this in the other forum, but got only one reply and it wasn’t what I wanted. ---

[http://home.insightbb.com/~cdmaa/andrew.htm](http://home.insightbb.com/~cdmaa/andrew.htm) About half way down the page is “Jesus has a Rocking Chair”. Could it be that? ---
