How Far Is Heaven? Songtext

von Great White

Standing silent in the pouring rain
Another tear falls from my eyes
And in the quiet torrential pain
I try to reconcile my mind
She was my love she was everything
I never dreamed that she could go

I know she had to leave but only god knows why
Just before she went she asked me with a sigh

How far is heaven? I really need to know
Is it a long way? I really need to know
How far is heaven? The candle's burning low

With every moment our lives unwind
Each breath more precious than the last
With every heartbeat each grain of time
The future fades into the past
Life has a time for everything
When it comes and when it goes

So treasure every moment follow your dreams
Live a life of love it's shorter than it seems

How far is heaven? I really need to know
Is it a long way? I really need to know
How far is heaven? The candle's burning low

Now the nights are long
And cold and the world closes in
And the pain is so strong
I pray for the light
And dry my tired eye
But not for the last time

How far is heaven? I really need to know
Is it a long way? I really need to know
How far is heaven? The candle's burning low

How far is heaven? I really need to know
Is it a long way? I really need to know
How far is heaven? The candle's burning low
