5 Steps - Dru Hill

I don’t know how much longer

You’re going to be here

So I say my prayers

Every night

One for my mother

One for my father

And one for the love of my life

So if you decide to leave today

Then leave tomorrow at the door

And take only

Half of yesterday

And forget all hope for the present

Cause it just went away

We were five steps

From eternity

We were four steps

Four steps past love

And three wishes

From touching the heavens above

We were five steps

From eternity

We were four steps

Four steps past love

And three wishes

From touching the heavens above

Another day is gone

Another night now dawn

Waiting patiently hope that you’ll return

But not before long

Why’d you say goodbye

I still feel your presence

In my bed at night

And what was reality once

A love true in form

Has now added pain

For a man scorn

Forced to wear the memories of pain

Around an empty heart

Now I sit in silence and begin to think

As laughter echoes through the air

I can’t get you off my mind

But a whole new love

I could never bare

So now I lay

Me down to sleep

And I pray my Lord my soul to keep

And if I die, before I wake

Then I promise I’ll be there for you always

We were five steps

From eternity

We were four steps

Four steps past love

And three wishes

From touching the heavens above

We were five steps

From eternity

We were four steps

Four steps past love

And three wishes

From touching the heavens above
