Lyrics
“Heaven”
Oh, thinkin’ about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and freeNow nothin’ can take you away from me
We’ve been down that road before
But that’s over now
You keep me comin’ back for moreBaby, you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heavenAnd love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heavenOh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you’re feelin’ downYeah, nothin’ could change what you mean to me
Oh, there’s lots that I could say
But just hold me now
‘Cause our love will light the wayAnd, baby, you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heavenYeah, love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heavenI’ve been waitin’ for so long
For somethin’ to arrive
For love to come alongNow our dreams are comin’ true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah, I’ll be standin’ there by youAnd, baby, you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heavenAnd love is all that I need
