heaven's not too far away Lyrics

Honey, I thought you should know

That I'm in a hurry

I've got to move up north

But it's just temporary

I really tried not to lie

But this burdens getting heavy

No you can't come with me this time

You've got your own destiny

When I look at you I see your beauty

Now you're, you're gonna lose me

But Heaven's not too far away

I know someday you'll visit

And I didn't think it'd go this way

Can I please have one more minute?

No baby, I don't want to go

Please know that I have to

You know the pain has grown

I think it's time I go home

Yes, I can still hear your voice

Sounds just like it did

And I can still feel your hand

When it touches my skin

But Heaven's not too far away

I know someday you'll visit

And I didn't think it'd go this way

Can I please have one more minute?

You saved my life

Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes

But Heaven's not too far away

I know someday you'll visit

As death rattles my cage

I can hear their voices fading

Each breath getting harder

I can hear the tears coming from my mother

And to my father

He's thinking back when he was younger

When he had a happy daughter

Who asked him to take care of her mother

And I'm not really sure about life

Or that how could any of this be right

But I know my family they will be fine

'Cause they can talk to me anytime

'Cause Heaven's not too far away

I know someday you'll visit

And I didn't think I'd go this way

Can I please have one more minute?

You saved my life

Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes

But Heaven's not too far away

No, I know someday you'll visit

Honey, I thought you should know

That I'm in a hurry

I've gotta move up north

But it's just temporary
