I don't know how much longer
You're going to be here
So I say my prayers
Every night

One 4 my mother
One 4 my father
And one 4 the love of my life

So if you decide to leave today
Then leave tomorrow at the door
And take only
Half of yesterday

Forget all hope for the present
'Cause it just went away

We were 5 steps
From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From

Touching the heavens above
Another day is gone
Another night now dawn
Waiting patiently hoping you'll return

But not before long
Why'd you say goodbye
I still feel your presence
In my bed at night

And what was reality once
A love True in form
Has now added pain
For a man scorn

Forced to wear the memories of pain
Around an empty heart
Now I sit in silence and begin to think
As laughter echoes through the air

I can't get you off my mind
But a whole new love
I could never bare
So now I lay

Me down to sleep
And I pray my Lord my soul to keep
And if I die, before I wake
Then I promise I'll be there for you always

We were 5 steps
From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes

From
Touching the heavens above
