Lyrics

Tripped over my feet at that high school dance
Underneath those gym lights, I stole a kiss and took my chance
I thought I?d found forever as we fogged up that rearview mirror
If you were in my heart, you couldn?t get any nearer

Then you got sick, ten years to that day
And as we sat on our porch and watched our children play

I thought we?d see our grandkids first smile
Always thought I?d hold your hand as we walked that last mile
But I can?t leave our babies without a mommy and a daddy
So for now, Heaven?s too far for me
Heaven?s too far for me

We had plans that seemed small but they were all we were after
We?d grow old while we filled our house with laughter

How do we tell our kids that mommy has too go away for a while?
That she won?t be there to see them walking down the aisle

I thought we?d see our grandkids first smile
Always thought I?d hold your hand as we walked that last mile
But I can?t leave our babies without a mommy and a daddy
So for now, Heaven?s too far for me

Now I need to say goodbye
I can?t leave what you?ve left behind
But we?ll be together when it?s meant to be

I thought we?d see our grandkids first smile
Always thought I?d hold your hand as we walked that last mile
But we?ll be together when it?s meant to be
So for now, Heaven?s too far for me
Heaven?s too far for me
