Don't beg, don't cry to your children Don't you cry to your papa Try to beg to your people Don't you cry to your mamma 'Cause heaven is too far around tonight Heaven is too far around tonight Don't laugh, don't scream to your children Don't you cry to your sister Don't talk, don't play with the children 'Cause you ain't gonna get my heart 'Cause heaven is too far around tonight Heaven is too far around tonight Heaven is too far around tonight Heaven is too far around tonight
