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

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

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

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

As death rattles my cage

I can hear your voices fading

Each breath getting harder

I can hear the tears

coming from my daughter

And to her older brother

He's thinking back when he was younger

When he had a healthy mother

Who asked him to take care

of his little brother

And he's not really sure about life

Or that how could any of this be right

But I know my babies they will be fine

Cause they can talk to me anytime

Cause 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

No I know someday you'll visit

Honey I thought you should know

That I'm in a hurry

I've gotta move up north

But it's just temporary
