5 Steps

(album: Dru Hill - 1996)

I don't know how much longer
You're going to be here
So I say my prayers
Every night
One 4 my mother
One 4 my father
And one 4 the love of my life
So if u decide to leave today
Then leave tomorrow at the door
And take only
Half of yesterday
Forget all hope for the present
Cause it just went away

We were 5 steps
From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From
Touching the heavens above

Another day is gone
Another night now dawn
Waiting patiently hoping 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 5 steps
From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From
Touching the heavens above
