A Place Nearby

Lene Marlin · Playing My Game [1999]

I entered the room

Sat by your bed all through the night

I watched your daily fight

I hardly knew

The pain

Was almost more than I could bear

And still I hear

Your last words to me



Heaven is a place nearby

So I won't be so far away

And if you try and look for me

Maybe you'll find me someday

Heaven is a place nearby

So there's no need to say goodbye

I wanna ask you not to cry

I'll always be by your side



You just faded away

You spread your wings, you had flown

Away to something unknown

Wish I could bring you back

You're always on my mind

About to tear myself apart

You have your special place in my heart

Always



Heaven is a place nearby

So I won't be so far away

And if you try and look for me

Maybe you'll find me someday

Heaven is a place nearby

So there's no need to say goodbye

I wanna ask you not to cry

I'll always be by your side



And even when I go to sleep

I still can hear your voice

And those words

I never will forget



Heaven is a place nearby

So I won't be so far away

And if you try and look for me

Maybe you'll find me someday

Heaven is a place nearby

So there's no need to say goodbye

I wanna ask you not to cry

I'll always be by your side
