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 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 living 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 saving every little bit of my love for you
I' ve been dreaming just to get by
It's so exciting, fantasizing

It doesn't matter just how long it takes
Just to know we'll be 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 living 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
