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
