SO CLOSE TO HEAVEN

I had this dream
Saw the world
But I didn’t realize

To be so free
Can leave you so alone

While I was gone
I’d think of you
And pray for a simple life

I’d fight the war
Get off the road
Come back to you

CHORUS

So close to heaven
But too far away

We'd be together
But you couldn't stay

We said forever
But never today
So close to heaven
Too far away (Is where we’ll stay)

I packed a bag, said ‘goodbye,
Things will be different this time

I gave up a home
But made the flight

Now it’s been a year
And the days are so long
And I go out every night

Now I’m alone
And I’d give up this song
To get back to you

CHORUS

So close to heaven
But too far away

We'd be together
But you couldn't stay

We said forever
But never today

So close to heaven
Too far away (Is where we’ll stay)

BRIDGE

I’d give up myself
Give back these words
Give up my pride

Tear down these walls
And let you inside
So help me believe
