[Verse 1]
Honey I thought you should know
that I m in a hurry
I ve gotta move up north,
but it s just temporary
i really tried not to lie,
but this burden s getting heavy
No you can t come with me this time,
you got your own destiny yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
When I look at you,
I see your beauty
Now my baby boy
is gonna lose me
[Chorus]
But heaven s not too far away
I know someday you ll visit
And I didn t think it d go this way
Can I please have one more minute
[Verse 2]
No honey I don t wanna go
just know that I have to
Look how the cancer has grown
I think it s time I go home
Yes i can still hear you voice
sounds just like it did
And i can still feel your hand
when it touches my skin
[Chorus]
But heaven s not too far away
I know someday you ll visit
And I didn t think it 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
[Bridge]
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
we had a healthy mother
who asked him to take care of his little brother
he s not really sure about life
or that how could any others be right
But I know my babies they will be fine
Cause they can talk to me anytime
[Chorus 2]
Cause heaven s not too far away
I know someday you ll visit
And I didn t think it 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
[Outro]
Honey I thought you should know
that I m in a hurry
I ve gotta move up north,
but it s just temporary.
