I'm looking for the lyrics to a song recorded by Kitty Wells around 1955. The title is "How Far Is Heavan" It was written by Tilman Frank and Jimmie Davis (the gov).

Thanks for the Help

Tom

HOW FAR IS HEAVEN - Recorded by Kitty Wells
Written by Tillman Franks and Jimmie Davis

RECORDED IN Bb:

INTRO: [Bb] How far is [Eb] heaven, let's go to-[Bb] night
I want my [F] daddy to hold me [Bb] tight.

[Bb] A little girl was waiting for her daddy one [F] day
It was time to meet him when she heard her mommy [Bb] say
Come to mama darling, please do not [Eb] cry
Daddy's gone to [Bb] heaven [F] way up in the [Bb] sky.

CHORUS: [Bb] How Far Is [Eb] Heaven, when can I [Bb] go
To see my [F] daddy, he's there I [Bb] know
How Far Is [Eb] Heaven, let's go to-[Bb] night
I want my [F] daddy to hold me [Bb] 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
