Lyrics

  1. 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

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

  1. 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
