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
Ooh 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.
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
Ooh 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.
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 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.
[Solo]

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

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
