I don't know how much longer    You're going to be here    So I say my prayers    Every night    One for my mother    One for my father    And 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    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          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    Has now added pain    For a man 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 the heavens above
