I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue |
|
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue |
|
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green |
|
But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen |
|
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are |
|
I have searched for happiness so long and far |
|
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you |
|
'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are |
|
I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms |
|
When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms |
|
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do |
|
You're the nearest thing to heaven, darlin' you |
|
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are |
|
I have searched for happiness so long and far |
|
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you |
|
'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are |
|
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day |
|
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away |
|
I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy their worth |
|
But you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth |
|
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are |
|
I have searched for happiness so long and far |
|
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you |
|
'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are |
