I don't know how much longer You're going to be here So I say my prayers Every night One 4 my mother One 4 my father And one 4 the love of my life So if you decide to leave today Then leave tomorrow at the door And take only half of yesterday Forget all hope for the present Cause it just went away We were 5 steps From eternity 4 steps 4 steps past love And 3 wishes From touching the heavens above Repeat chrous Another day is gone Another night now dawn Waiting patiently hoping you'll return But not before long Why'd you say goodbye I still feel your presence In my bed at night And what was reality once A love True in form Is now adding pain For all man's scorn Forced to wear the memories of pain Around an empty heart Now I sit in silence and begin to think As laughter echoes through the air I can't get you off my mind But a whole new love I could never bare So now I lay me Down to sleep And I pray my Lord my soul to keep And if I die, before I wake Then I promise I'll be there for you always We were 5 steps From eternity 4 steps 4 steps past love And 3 wishes From touching to heavens above
