I never knew heaven could speak, but now I do
I've learned it through a conversation with you
I never knew heaven could dance, but now I do
With every step another little dream comes true

I always thought heaven was somewhere
Way up high in the sky up above
I never thought heaven was someone
Like you, for me to love

I never knew heaven could hold such tender charms
I never knew heaven could be here in my arms
