How Far Is Heaven? Lyrics

Standing silent in the pouring rainAnother tear falls from my eyesAnd in the quiet torrential painI try to reconcile my mindShe was my love she was everythingI never dreamed that she could goI know she had to leave but only god knows whyJust before she went she asked me with a sighHow far is heaven? I really need to knowIs it a long way? I really need to knowHow far is heaven? The candle's burning lowWith every moment our lives unwindEach breath more precious than the lastWith every heartbeat each grain of timeThe future fades into the pastLife has a time for everythingWhen it comes and when it goesSo treasure every moment follow your dreamsLive a life of love it's shorter than it seemsHow far is heaven? I really need to knowIs it a long way? I really need to knowHow far is heaven? The candle's burning lowSee Great White LiveGet tickets as low as $22You might also likeNow the nights are longAnd cold and the world closes inAnd the pain is so strongI pray for the lightAnd dry my tired eyeBut not for the last timeHow far is heaven? I really need to knowIs it a long way? I really need to knowHow far is heaven? The candle's burning lowHow far is heaven? I really need to knowIs it a long way? I really need to knowHow far is heaven? The candle's burning lowEmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
