i entered the room
sat by your bed all through the night
i watched your daily fight
i hardly knew
the pain
was almost more than i could bear
and still i hear
your last words to me
heaven is a place nearby
so i won't be so far away
and if you try and look for me
maybe you'll find me someday
heaven is a place nearby
so there's no need to say goodbye
i wanna ask you not to cry
i'll always be by your side
you just faded away
you spread your wings
you had flown
away to something unknown
wish i could bring you back
you're always on my mind
about to tear myself apart
you have your special place in my heart
always
heaven is a place nearby
so i won't be so far away
and if you try and look for me
maybe you'll find me someday
heaven is a place nearby
so there's no need to say goodbye
i wanna ask you not to cry
i'll always be by your side
and even when i go to sleep
i still can hear your voice
and those words i'll never forget
heaven is a place nearby
so i won't be so far away
and if you try and look for me
maybe you'll find me someday
heaven is a place nearby
so there's no need to say goodbye
i wanna ask you not to cry
i'll always be by your side
