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?
