HEAVEN WAS NOT FAR AWAY - 11/26/05 12:20 PM
Hi folks, with the exception of the 1st verse this one is totally rewritten. Comments appreciated.
HEAVEN WAS NOT FAR AWAY
1.Verse
Sweetness of youth hung in the air
As we stroll'd home from the school dance
The windin' path along the river bank
Was cover'd in frost as we romanc'd,
Spiders webs dress'd in crystal dew
Sparkel'd in the newborn light
The sun was blushin' in the east
And you were the most wonderful sight
CHORUS
HONEY THE SWEET LITTLE NOTHINGS YOU DID'NT SAY
WERE JUST WHAT MY HEART ACHED TO HEAR
EACH SILENT MOMENT WHEN YOU WERE NEAR
HEAVEN WAS NOT FAR AWAY
2.Verse
Thousands of dreams came true at once
When you smiled and whisper'd my name
The silver birch where the blackbirds now mate
Was only a twig when we lost our shame,
Since then I swear your magic touch
Never fail'd to amaze me
Each time I stumbl'd in the dark
You lit a beacon so I could see
CHORUS
HONEY THE SWEET LITTLE NOTHINGS YOU DID'NT SAY
WERE JUST WHAT MY HEART ACHED TO HEAR
EACH SILENT MOMENT WHEN YOU WERE NEAR
HEAVEN WAS NOT FAR AWAY
bridge
memories alone make my life complete
since the angles called you home
you always linger in each hearbeat
though you've gone I'm never alone
CHORUS
HONEY THE SWEET LITTLE NOTHINGS YOU DID'NT SAY
WERE JUST WHAT MY HEART ACHED TO HEAR
EACH SILENT MOMENT WHEN YOU WERE NEAR
HEAVEN WAS NOT FAR AWAY
TAG
AND RIGHT NOW...............
HEAVEN IS NOT FAR AWAY
