I've been waiting such a long time
Just trying to get through
And it's 
taking all of my strength
To keep me here away from you
It doesn't matter 
just how long it takes
Nothing changes when we're apart
It's just a bit 
longer, we've come this far

* One step closer to heaven baby
Means one 
step closer to you
There'll be no more livin' without you baby
I'll be 
counting the seconds
'Til I'm back to you
One step closer to heaven 
baby
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to my lovin'

I've been saving every 
little bit
Of my love for you
I've been dreaming just to get by
It's so 
exciting, fantasising
It doesn't matter just how long it takes
Just to 
know we'll be back together
And this time it's forever

[Repeat 
*]

It doesn't matter how long it takes
Nothing changes when we're 
apart
It's just a little bit longer, we've come this far

[Repeat 
*]
