I've been waitin'

Such a long time just tryin' to get through

And its takin'

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 little 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'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you

One step closer to heaven baby

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on to my lovin'!

I've been savin' every little bit of my love for you

I've been dreamin' just to get by,

It's so exciting, fantasisin'

It doesn't matter just how long it takes

Just to know we're back together

And this time .... it's forever!

One step closer to heaven baby

Means one step closer to you

There'll be no more livin' without you baby

I'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you

One step closer to heaven baby

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on to my lovin'!

It doesn't matter just how long it takes

Nothing changes when we're apart

It's just a little 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'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you

One step closer to heaven baby

Means one step closer to you

There'll be no more livin' without you baby

I'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you

One step closer to heaven baby

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on to my lovin'!
