Heaven’s Not Too Far

[Intro]
Hmmmm-mmmm-mm-mm
Hmmmm-mmmm-mm

[Verse 1]
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 got your own destiny, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
When I look at you, I see your beauty
Now my baby boy he's gonna lose me

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
No honey, I don't want to go
Please know that I have to
Look how the cancer 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

[Chorus 2]
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?
I gave you life
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
But Heaven's not too far away
I know someday you'll visit

[Bridge]
As death rattles my cage
I can hear their voices fading
Each breath getting harder
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
And to her older brother
He's thinking back when he was younger
When he had a healthy mother
Who asked him to take care of his little brother
And he's not really sure about life
Or that how could any of this be right
But I know my babies they will be fine
'Cause they can talk to me anytime

[Chorus 2]
'Cause Heaven's not too far away
I know someday you'll visit
I didn't think I'd go this way
Can I please have one more minute?
I gave you life
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
But Heaven's not too far away
I know someday you'll visit

[Outro]
Honey, I thought you should know
That I'm in a hurry
I've gotta move up north
But it's just temporary
