Margo Smith - How Far Is Heaven

A little girl was waiting for her daddy one day
It was time to meet him when she heard her mommy say
Come to mommy darlin' please do not cry
Daddy's gone to heaven way up in the sky

How far is heaven
When can I go
To see my daddy
He's there I know

How far is heaven
Let's go tonight
I want my daddy
To hold me tight

He was called so suddenly
He 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

How far is heaven
When can I go
To see my daddy
He's there I know

How far is heaven
Let's go tonight
I want my daddy
To hold me tight

I want my daddy
To hold me tight

I've searched a very long time for this exact version, as my grandfather used to listen to it around the time of his death. I liked the song then but back then I didn't truly appreciate it as I do now. This is one of the best version if not the 'best'.... I seem to recall a verse being sung by a little girl hopefully I'll be able to find that version =)

Thanks for sharing!

Growing up my dad used to sing this very song to my two older brothers, our sister, and myself. Sadly my sister passed away at the age of 16, year of 1998, and then my dad year 2011. My sister was the only girl the youngest out of four siblings. Our dad was only 63 when he passed. We noticed him getting sick when his baby girl passed. This song brings back many memories growing up, and every time i play this song I can here him singing, and see my sister and I sitting and listening. Whim ever w
