The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I have often wondered whether it is true
That there’s a Heaven people talk about
Happily I blundered into meeting you
That there’s a Heaven I no longer doubt
Chorus
To have and hold you near
To know you love me, dear
Sweetheart, this is Heaven
Tho’ humble it may be
As long as you’re with me
Sweetheart, this is Heaven
It’s not in yonder skies happiness reposes
But in your lovelit eyes
Beaming through those red, red roses
And when your lips and mine
Meet in a kiss divine
This is my Heaven, dear
- I would smile whenever someone said to me
That there are Angels up there in the skies
Now I have become one who knows there must be
For I behold one here before my eyes
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein.
