A little girl was waiting for her daddy one day  
                                                  C
It was time to meet him , when she heard her mommy say  
                                     F
Come to mama, darling, please do not cry  
                C       G7            C
Daddy's gone to heaven, way up in the sky.  
 
CHORUS  
C   C7     F                  C
How Far Is Heaven, when can I go  
          G7                   C
To see my daddy, he's there, I know  
    C7     F                   C
How Far Is Heaven, let's go to-night  
          G7               C
I want my daddy to hold me tight.  
 
He was called so suddenly and could not say goodbye  
I know that he's in heaven, we'll meet him by and by  
The little girl trembled, her tears she could not hide  
She looked up towards heaven and then she replied.  
 
CHORUS
