Hassman/Anders
I promised myself, this year would be something else
but I haven't gotten far
I walk and I run...there are signs, but no directions
on how to get to where you are
Summer came and went again
nothin's changed, and I can't win for losin'
But I can see a light ahead
and I get closer every step
but I'm not there yet...so
How many miles left to heaven
How many miles left to u
Mile marker 23...was a real bad year for me
oh, I drove into mistakes
Lost all my confidence, I lost every friend, oh
it tested my faith
Watched Grandpa at 85
Lose his love... lose his wife of 60 years
He said.."you go on to paradise
I'll meet u there in a matter of time"
then i heard him cry...
How many miles left to heaven
How many miles left to u
How many miles left to heaven
How many tears left to lose
Somedays I wanna push reset...start over and forget
all the places that I've seen
the wars and ugliness...the pain and all regrets
and make a brand new me
But I see the grey sky turn to blue
with just the thought of seeing u
I'm flyin'
Floating free w/o a care
that must be what it's like up there
so i wanna know...
How many miles left to heaven
How many miles left to you
How many miles left to heaven
How many tears left to lose
So i'll do what it takes
till we're standing, till we're standing face to face
