A little girl was waiting for her daddy one day

It was time to meet him when she heard her mommy say

Come to mami darling please do not cry

Daddy's gone to heaven way up in the sky

How far is heaven when can I go

To see my daddy he's there I know

How far is heaven let's go tonight

I want my daddy to hold me tight

He was called so suddenly and could not say goodbye

I know that he's in heaven we'll meet him by and by

The little girl trembled her tears she could not hide

She looked up towards heaven and then she replied

How far is heaven when can I go

To see my daddy he's there I know

How far is heaven let's go tonight

I want my daddy to hold me tight
