Don't beg, don't cry to your children
Don't you cry to your papa
Try to beg to your people
Don't you cry to your mamma
'Cause heaven is too far around tonight
Heaven is too far around tonight
Don't laugh, don't scream to your children
Don't you cry to your sister
Don't talk, don't play with the children
'Cause you ain't gonna get my heart
'Cause heaven is too far around tonight
Heaven is too far around tonight
Heaven is too far around tonight
Heaven is too far around tonight
