I don't know how much longer you're going to be here
So I say my prayers every night
One for my mother, one for my father
And 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

We were five steps from eternity
We were four steps, four steps past love
And three wishes
We were three wishes from touching the heavens above

Said we were five steps from eternity
We were four steps, four steps past love
And three wishes
We were three wishes, ooh, from touching the heavens above
So you know

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
Has now added pain for a man scorned
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 bear
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

We were five steps from eternity
We were four steps, four steps past love
And three wishes
We were three wishes from touching the heavens above

Said we were five steps from eternity
We were four steps, four steps past love
And three wishes
We were three wishes, ooh, from touching the heavens above
So you know
