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 the 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

(Chorus)
We were 5 steps
From eternity (we were)
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From touching the heavens above
(repeat chrous)

Another day is gone
Another night now dawn
Waiting patiently
Hope that 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
A love True in form
Is now adding pain
For all 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 off my mind
But a whole new love
I could never bare
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

(chorus)
