Lyrics

How far is heaven, let’s go tonight
I want my daddy to hold me tight
A little girl was waiting for her daddy one day
It was time to meet him, when she heard her mommy say
“Come to mama, darling, 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 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
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

From Code Playground romance to lifelong love story—George Strait’s “Check Yes Or No” captures that magical moment when love begins with just a simple note, reminding us why he truly deserves his crown as the King of Country.

Brooks & Dunn’s iconic hit “You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone” stands as a powerful testament to the duo’s mastery of emotional storytelling, released in June 1995 as the fourth single from their third album “Waitin’ on Sundown” and quickly soaring to #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, marking their ninth chart-topper and becoming the 13th biggest country song of that year; what makes this track particularly special is that it features Kix Brooks on lead vocals instead of Ronnie Dunn, making it the only Brooks-led single among their 20 Billboard #1 hits, co-written by both members alongside producer Don Cook; the song’s raw emotional honesty about a relationship on the brink of collapse resonated deeply with listeners, especially women who connected with its universal message about appreciating someone before they’re gone, with Brooks himself noting “women took this into their own hearts, brains, and situations”; accompanied by a striking music video filmed in San Antonio, Texas that reached #1 on CMT’s Top 12 Countdown, the song showcases the duo’s signature blend of traditional country elements with modern sensibilities, featuring poignant lyrics about a partner who’s tired of being the only one trying to save a relationship; decades later, this emotional powerhouse continues to exemplify why Brooks & Dunn remain one of country music’s most successful duos, delivering timeless songs that speak directly to the heart of human relationships.

That moment Jelly Roll’s voice breaks in ‘Only’ sent chills down my spine – now I understand why 41 million people can’t stop listening to this raw, honest anthem about overcoming life’s darkest moments.
