[F#m]Honey I thought you should [E]know that I'm in a hurry
[A]♪
[Dsus2/F#]I've got to move up [E]north, but it's just temporary
[F#m]I really tried not to [E]lie, but this burdens getting heavy
[A]No, you can't come with me [Dsus2/F#]this time, you got your own destiny
[E]When I look at [F#m]you I see your beauty
[E]Now my baby boy [A]he's gonna lose me
[Dsus2/F#]But heavens not too far [E]away, I know someday you'll visit
[F#m]And I didn't think I'd go this [E]way, can I please have one more minute
[A]No honey I don't want to [Dsus2/F#]go, please know that I have to
[E]Look how the cancer has grown, [F#m]I think it's time I go home
[E]Yes I can still hear your [A]voice, sounds just like it did
[Dsus2/F#]And I can still feel your [E]hand, when it touches my skin
[F#m]But heavens not too far [E]away, I know someday you'll visit
[A]And I didn't think I'd go this [Dsus2/F#]way, can I please have one more minute

[F#] Meach breath [E]getting harder
[A]I can hear the [Dsus2/F#]tears coming from my daughter
[E]And to her older brother, he's [F#m]thinking back when he was younger
[E]When he had [A]a healthy mother
[Dsus2/F#]Who asked him to take [E]care of his little brother
[F#m]And he's not [E]really sure about life
[A]Or that how could [Dsus2/F#]any of this be right
[E]But I know my [F#m]babies they will be fine
[E]Cause they can [A]talk to me anytime
[Dsus2/F#]Cause, Heavens not too far [E]away, I know someday you'll visit
[F#m]I didn't think I'd go this way, [E]can I please have one more minute

[F#m]I gave you life now you [E]gotta watch it leave my eyes
[A]But heavens not too far [Dsus2/F#]away, I know someday you'll visit
[E]Honey I thought you should [F#m]know, that I'm in a hurry

[Dsus2/F#]I've got a move up [A]north, but it's just temporary
