I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
A7 D
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
A7 D
But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
G D
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
A7 D
I have searched for happiness so long and far
G
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
D A7 D
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
I confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms
A7 D
When a smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms
But I turn and walk away because I love you like I do
A7 D
You're the nearest thing to heaven, darling you
G D
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
A7 D
I have searched for happiness so long and far
G
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
D A7 D
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
A7 D
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away
I love the pretty flowers but he cannot buy their worth
A7 D
But you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth
G D
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
A7 D
I have searched for happiness so long and far
G
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
D A7 D G D
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
