I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
I held my breath and watch the Western sunset s 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, yeas you are.

I confess that I ve been tempted by alluring magic charms.
When a smile was flashed my way and stood before two openarms.
But I turn and walk away because I love you like I do.
You re the nearest thing to Heaven, darling you.

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 vie their worth.
But you re the nearest thing to Heaven on this Earth.
