Nearest Thing To Heaven

        C
I have sailed the piecefull waters 
of the ocean wide and blue
   G                            
I held my breath and watched the 
          C
western sunset's golden view

I've flown above the mountainpeaks 
and valley's wide and green
                G              
But you're the nearest thing to 
  G7               C
heaven That I've seen

              F              
  You're the nearest thing to 
                  C
heaven, yes you are
Continues after the ad
        G                       
  I've searched for happiness so 
           C
long and far
           F
  But my search for love was through
       C
  The day that I found you
                    G              
  Cause you're the nearest thing to
  G7              C
 heaven, yes you are

I confess that I've been tempted by 
the luring magic charms
When a smile was flashed my way and 
stood before to open marks
But I turned and walked away because
 I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven, 
darling you

(Chorus)

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 buy their worth
Cause you're the nearest thing to 
heaven on this earth
