SO CLOSE TO HEAVEN
(Doc Pomus / Mort Shuman)
Ral Donner - 1961
So close to heaven
When I'm close to you
Please take my hand, pretty baby
Won't you make my dreams come true
So close to heaven
It seams like paradise
I'd give a million to stay here
I would gladly pay the price
Well, I always thought that I'd get lucky
And find someone some day
And now it seems that I got lucky
When you came my way
So close to heaven
Well, I'm so satisfied
I would spend my life in heaven
If you stay here by my side
Well, I always thought I'd get lucky
And find someone some day
Well, now it seems that I got lucky
When you came my way
So close to heaven
I'm so satisfied
I'd spend my life in heaven
If you stay here by my side
If you stay here by my side
