Lyrics
- I have often heard them speak of Heaven
Where all good people go, but still I’d like to know
Is there such a place on earth as Heaven
I really think it’s true since I found you
Chorus
Oh me, oh my, dear, my idea of Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Is to be in love with you
Oh me, oh my, dear, my idea of Paradise
Is in your eyes
They’re like the skies of blue
I seem to listen to angels whenever you sing
If that isn’t Heaven, it’s just the next thing
Oh me, oh my, dear, my idea of Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Is to be in love with you
- I had never had a glimpse of Heaven
Until you came my way and since that very day
All the world to me is like a Heaven
Without you here with me ‘twould never be
