Song language: English
You Are the Nearest Thing to Heaven |
| 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 |
