Got a picture of your house and you're standing by the door It's black and white and faded and it's looking pretty worn I see the factory that I worked silhouetted in the back The memories are gray but, man, they're really coming back I don't need to be the king of the world As long as I'm the hero of this little girl Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it every day No matter what your friends might say, we will find our way How I love the way you move and the sparkle in your eyes There's a color deep inside them like a blue suburban sky When I come home late at night and you're in bed asleep I wrap my arms around you so I can feel you breath I don't need to a superman As long as you will always be my biggest fan Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it every day No matter what your friends might say We'll find our way yeah Now the lights are going out, along the boulevard Memories come rushing back and it makes it pretty hard I've got nowhere left to go, no one really cares I don't know what to do but I'm never giving up on you Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it every day No matter what your friends might say, yeah Find our way Heaven, far away Heaven, far away Heaven, isn't too far away Is not far away Is not too far way Is not too far way Is not too far
