Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl
[Chorus]
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say
[Verse 2]
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'll wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe
[PreChorus]
And I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
[Chorus]
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day (Ah, ah)
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now the lights are going out
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back
And it makes it pretty hard
Well, I got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you
[Chorus]
(Heaven isn't too far away) Closer to it every day
(Ah, ah) No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way
[Outro]
(Heaven) Whoa, whoa, oh
(Heaven) Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
(Heaven) It's not too far away, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
Yeah
