We Three - Heaven's Not Too Far Lyrics

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 can 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 Heaven's not too far away
I know someday you'll visit
And 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 Heaven's not too far away
No, I know someday you'll visit

Honey, I thought you should know
That I'm in a hurry
I've gotta move up north
But it's just temporary
