How Far Is Heaven

(album: Singing On Sunday - 1962)

A little girl was waiting for her daddy one day
It was time to meet him when she heard her mommy say
Come to mama darling please do not cry
Daddy's gone to heaven way up in the sky

How far is heaven when can I go
To see my daddy he's there I know
How far is heaven let's go to night
I want my daddy to hold me 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

How far is heaven when can I go
To see my daddy he's there I know
How far is heaven let's go to night
I want my daddy to hold me tight
