so close to heaven

lightnin' flashed

thunder roared

and all the future that i counted on

in a moment it had come and gone

by the time i could turn around

you were gone and i was all alone

sort of like the comet beyond the star

you brought me so close to heaven

i was so high off of the ground

so close to heaven

and i think i may never come down

nature laughed

i discovered you

someone i could tell my troubles to

guess i learned some thing i never knew

you brought me so close to heaven

i was so high off of the ground

so close

so close

and i think i may never come down

so close to heaven

so high off of the ground

so close to heaven.
