I HAVE SAILED
THE PEACEFUL WATERS
OF THE OCEAN
DEEP AND BLUE
I HELD MY BREATH
AND WATCHED
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
YES YOU ARE
I CONFESS
THAT I'VE BEEN TEMPTED
BY ALLURING
MAGIC CHARMS
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
YOU'RE THE NEAREST
THING
TO HEAVEN
DARLING YOU
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
YES YOU ARE
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
MONEY CANNOT
BUY THEIR WORTH
BUT YOU'RE THE NEAREST
THING TO HEAVEN
ON THIS EARTH
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
YES YOU ARE
