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

 [Chorus]:
 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 will 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

 [Chorus]

 And even when I go to sleep
 I still can hear your voice
 And those words
 I never will forget

 [Chorus]
