I have sailed the piecefull waters of the ocean wide and blue
I held my breath and watched the western sunset's golden view
I've flown above the mountainpeaks 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've 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 the luring magic charms
When a smile was flashed my way and stood before to open marks
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven, darling you
(Chorus)
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 I cannot buy their worth
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth
(Chorus)
