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 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

We were 5 steps

From eternity

We were 4 steps

4 steps past love

And 3 wishes

We were 3 wishes

From touching the heavens above

Said we were 5 steps

From eternity

4 steps

4 steps past love

And 3 wishes

Say that you know it you know it

From touching the heavens above us

Today another day is gone

Another night now dawn

Waiting patiently

Hope that you'll return

But not before long

Why you say goodbye

I still feel your presence

In my bed at night

And what was reality but

A love true in form

Is now added pain

For a 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 out my mind

But a whole new love

I could never bare no

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

We were 4 steps

Said 4 steps past love

And 3 wishes

You you know it

Say it

Touching the heavens above us

You you you

5 steps

From eternity

We were 4 steps

Said 4 steps past love

And 3 wishes

So don't you know

Say it barely

Touching the heavens above us

5 steps

From eternity

We were 4 steps

4 steps past love

And 3 wishes

Say it 3 wishes

3 wishes from touching the heavens above us

5 steps

From eternity

We were 4 steps

4 steps past love

And 3 wishes

We were 3 wishes

Wo wo touching the heavens above us

Say you know
