HALFWAY TO HEAVEN


as recorded by Arthur Tracy
1937


In my dreams each day
You did fly my way,
I thought I had you for my very own!
Suddenly you rise
Into paradise,
Leaving me here all alone.

I'm halfway to heaven when I am with you,
The stars are more golden, the sky is more blue.
When I look in your eyes, I see
All that heaven ever could be!

Way over the house tops, a shining star
Is halfway to heaven wherever you are.
Hold me fast in your arms, dear,
And take me to heaven with you!

Way over the house tops, a shining star
Is halfway to heaven wherever you are.
Hold me fast in your arms, dear,
And take me to heaven with you!
