Heaven is Never Too Far

Words cannot explain
how much you mean to me
nothing could ever compare
or even ever be

you're my papa, my own and only
you're my leaning post
although I love my family
you're the one that I love most

even though you may be leaving
you'll still be in my heart
you'll always be real close
even though we're far apart

while you're in heaven, please watch over me
and help me as I grow
you have taught me so much
but there is still so much more to know

I'm not going to say good-bye
or that I can't go on
I'll say I love you, and see you later
even though you're gone

I love you papa, more than you'll ever know
I know you'll be in heaven as a shining star
no matter how far away you seem
heaven is never too far

I love you Papa!
