[Verse 1]
Em G
Honey I thought you should know
C
that I'm in a hurry
Em G
I've gotta move up north,
C
but it's just temporary
Em G
i really tried not to lie,
C
but this burden's getting heavy
Em G
No you can't come with me this time,
C D
you got your own destiny yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
When I look at you,
C
I see your beauty
Em G
Now my baby boy
C
is gonna lose me
[Chorus]
C G
But heaven's not too far away
D
I know someday you'll visit
C G
And I didn't think it'd go this way
D
Can I please have one more minute
[Verse 2]
Em G
No honey I don't wanna go
C
just know that I have to
Em G
Look how the cancer has grown
C
I think it's time I go home
Em G
Yes i can still hear you voice
C
sounds just like it did
Em G
And i can still feel your hand
C
when it touches my skin
[Chorus]
C G
But heaven's not too far away
D
I know someday you'll visit
C G
And I didn't think it'd go this way
D
Can I please have one more minute
C G
I- gave you life
D Em D C
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
C G
But heaven's not too far away
D
I know someday you'll visit
[Bridge]
Em C
As death rattles my cage
G D
I can hear their voices fading
Em C
Each breath getting harder
G D
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
Em C
And to her older brother
G D
He's thinking back when he was younger
Em C
we had a healthy mother
G D
who asked him to take care of his little brother
Em C
he's not really sure about life
G D
or that how could any others be right
Em C
But I know my babies they will be fine
G D
Cause they can talk to me anytime
[Chorus 2]
C G
Cause heaven's not too far away
D
I know someday you'll visit
C G
And I didn't think it'd go this way
D
Can I please have one more minute
C G
I- gave you life
D Em D
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
C G
But heaven's not too far away
D
I know someday you'll visit
[Outro]
Em G
Honey I thought you should know
C
that I'm in a hurry
Em G
I've gotta move up north,
C
but it's just temporary.
