5 Steps

I don't know how much longer
You're going to be here
So I say my prayers
Every night
One 4 my mother
One 4 my father
And one 4 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
And only ro find
Is now adding pain
For all man's scorn
Forced to wear the memories of pain
Alone with 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 life
I could never bare
So now I lay
Me down to sleep
Amd 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 to heavens above
