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 darling you
You´re the nearest thing to heaven
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 the worth But you´re the nearest thing to heaven on this earth
