HOW FAR IS HEAVEN

Lyrics Provided By Cowboylyrics.com

[C] A little girl was waiting for her daddy one [G7]
                           day

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

Come to  mama,
                           darling, please do not [F] cry

Daddy’s gone to [C] heaven, [G7] way up in
                           the [C] sky.

                      CHORUS

[C] How [C7] Far Is [F] Heaven, when can I [C] go

To see my [G7] daddy, he's there, I [C] know

How [C7] Far Is [F] Heaven, let's go to-[C] night

I want my [G7] daddy to hold me [C] 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.

                                CHORUS
