The Great White - How Far Is Heaven? lyrics

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
