Lyrics

So Close To Heaven



I was just a child
When you took my hand 
We set the whole damn world on fire 
You showed me what it was to be
loved by a man 
But one day the ax just fell
And the whole world got shot all to hell
There's a hole in my heart 

We were so... So close to heaven 
We were almost as good, as good
as it gets 
And you were almost an angel 
That was almost heaven sent
So close to heaven 
So close 

Our love was crazy and wild
Tender and mild, slow & strong
Tonight I'll set it on fire
As noble as a storm
The lightning fell from your eyes 
Suddenly, there was no goodbye 
There's a hole in my heart 

We were so... So close to heaven 
We were almost as good, as good
as it gets 
And you were almost an angel
That was almost heaven sent
So close to heaven
So close 

Wax wings that flew too close to the sun 
But wasn't it so fun to fly 
It's far better to love than to lose
Than never to love, then to die
Oh you were so... So close to heaven 
We were almost, almost, almost
as good as it gets
And you were almost an angel 
Which was almost heaven sent 
So close to heaven 
so close... to heaven 
So close.... to heaven
