Heavens Not Too Far Away

Honey, I thought you should know that I'm in a hurry
I've got to move up north, but it's just temporary

When I look at you I see your beauty
Now my baby boy he's 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 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

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

As death rattles my cage, I 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

Cause, Heavens 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 heavens not too far away, I know someday you'll visit

Honey I thought you should know, that I'm in a hurry
I've got a move up north, but it's just temporary
