[Verse 1]
Honey I thought you should know
That I'm in a hurry
I gotta move up north
But it's just temporary
When I look at you I see your beauty
Now my baby boy he's gonna lose me

[Chorus]
But heaven's not too far away
I know someday you'll visit
And I didn't think it'd go this way
Can I please have one more minute

[Verse 2]
No honey I don't want to go
Please know that I have to
Look how the cancer has grown
I think it's time I go home
Yes I can still hear your voice
Sounds just like it did
And I can still feel your hand when it touches my skin

[Chorus]
But heaven's not too far away
I know someday you'll visit
And I didn't think it'd go this way
Can I please have one more minute
I gave you life
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
But heaven's not too far away
I know someday you'll visit
