Text: Lene Marlin. Playing My Game. A Place Nearby.

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
