HOW FAR IS HEAVEN

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, ooo I never dreamed that she would go.
I know she had to leave, but only god knows why.
Just before she left, she asked me with a sigh.

(chorus) 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, ooo when it comes and when it goes.
So treasure every moment, follow all your dreams, live a life of love, it's shorter than it seems.

(chorus) Heaven- I really need to know, Is it a long way? I really need to know, How far is Heaven?

Now all 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 eyes, But not for the last time.

(chorus) Heaven- I really need to know, Is it a long way? I really need to know, How far is Heaven?
