I have sailed the peaceful waters
|
Of the ocean deep and blue
|
I held my breath and watched
|
The western sunset's golden hue
|
|
I've flown above the mountain peaks
|
And valley's 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 charm
|
When a 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, darling 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 loved the pretty flowers
|
But he 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 for 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
|
