I don't know how much longer   You're gonna be here   So I say my prayers   Every night   One for my mother   One for my father   And the one for the love of my life   So if you decide to leave today   Then leave tomorrow at the door   And take only half of yesterday   And forget all hope for the present   Cause it just went away      (Chorus)   We were 5 steps   From eternity (we were)    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    Hope that 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      (chorus)
