Honey I thought you should know that I’m in a hurry I’ve got to move up north, but it’s just temporary
When I look at you I see your beauty Now my baby boy, he’s gonna lose me
But heaven’s not too far away, I know someday you’ll visit And I didn’t think I’d go this way, can I please have one more minute
No honey, I don’t want to go, please know that I have to Look how the cancer has grown, I think it’s time I go home Yes, I can still hear your voice, sounds just like it did And I can still feel your hand, when it touches my skin
But heaven’s not too far away, I know someday you’ll visit And I didn’t think I’d go this way, can I please have one more minute I gave you life now you gotta watch it leave my eyes But heaven’s not too far away, I know someday you’ll visit
As death rattles my cage, I can hear their voices fading Each breath getting harder, I can hear the tears coming from my daughter And to her older brother, he’s thinking back when he was younger When he had a healthy mother, who asked him to take care of his little brother And he’s not really sure about life, or that how could any of this be right But I know my babies, they will be fine, cause they can talk to me anytime
Cause, heaven’s not too far away, I know someday you’ll visit And I didn’t think I’d go this way, can I please have one more minute I gave you life now you gotta watch it leave my eyes But heaven’s not too far away, I know someday you’ll visit
Honey, I thought you should know, that I’m in a hurry I’ve got a move up north, but it’s just temporary
