CLOSEST THING TO HEAVEN
(Jerry Foster / Bill Rice)


Bob Luman - 1974





You came when I was lost and caught me lonely
Gave me precious love when I was down
You may not be an angel, but you won't miss it far
You're the closest thing to heaven that I've found

You make it easy to face each day
My world is filled with love when you're around
You may not wear a halo, but your heart is made of gold
You're the closest thing to heaven that I've found

Your loving touch was like a drop of mercy
That picked me up and turned my life around
You're more than just a woman as far as I'm concerned
You're the closest thing to heaven that I've found

No, you may not be an angel, but you won't miss it far
You're the closest thing to heaven that I've found
