You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue<br/>I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue<br/>I&#x27;ve flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green<br/>But you&#x27;re the nearest thing to heaven that I&#x27;ve seen<br/>You&#x27;re the nearest thing to heaven yes you are<span><br/>I have searched for happiness so long and far<br/>But my search for love was through the day that I found you<br/>Cause you&#x27;re the nearest thing to heaven yes you are<br/>I confess that I&#x27;ve been tempted by alluring magic charms<br/>When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms<span><br/>But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do<br/>You&#x27;re the nearest thing to heaven darling you<span><br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>You&#x27;re the nearest thing to heaven<br/>[Verse 2]<br/>I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day<br/>Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away<br/>I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth<br/>But you&#x27;re the nearest thing to heaven on this earth<br/><br/>[Chorus]
