挪威創作歌手［琳恩瑪蓮］的冷門佳作──流行抒情曲──［A Place Nearby／附近之地］

I entered the room
Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight
I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
Still, I hear your last words to me

Heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe youll find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So theres no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
Ill always be by your side

You just faded away
You spread your wings, you had flown
Away to something unknown
Wish I could bring you back
Youre always on my mind
About to tear myself apart
You have your special place in my heart
Always

Heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe youll find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So theres no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
Ill always be by your side

And even when I go to sleep
I still can hear your voice
And those words
I never will forget

Heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe youll find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So theres no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
Ill always be by your side
