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 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 the worth

Cause 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

Ahhhhhhhhhh
