I've been waitin' Such a long time just tryin' to get through And its takin' All of my strength to keep me here Away from you. It doesn't matter just how long it takes Nothing changes when we're apart It's just a little bit longer, we've come this far! One step closer to heaven baby Means one step closer to you There'll be no more livin' without you baby I'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you One step closer to heaven baby Hold on! Hold on! Hold on to my lovin'! I've been savin' every little bit of my love for you I've been dreamin' just to get by, It's so exciting, fantasisin' It doesn't matter just how long it takes Just to know we're back together And this time, it's forever! One step closer to heaven baby Means one step closer to you They'll be no more livin' without you baby I'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you One step closer to heaven baby Hold on! Hold on! Hold on to my lovin'! It doesn't matter just how long it takes Nothing changes when we're apart It's just a little bit longer, we've come this far! One step closer to heaven baby Means one step closer to you They'll be no more livin' without you baby I'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you One step closer to heaven baby Means one step closer to you They'll be no more livin' without you baby I'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you One step closer to heaven baby Hold on! Hold on! Hold on to my lovin'!
