You're The The Nearest Thing To Heaven

	  		
      C 
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue 
  G7                                   C 
I held my breath and watch the Western sunset's golden hue. 
 
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green 
               G7                                C     C7 
But you're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen. 
           F                                C 
You're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes you are. 
       G7                                 C 
I have searched for happiness so long and far. 
                           C7          F 
But my search for love was through the day that I found you. 
                  C                G7               C  
'Cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yeas you are. 

VERSE 2: 
I confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms. 
When a smile was flashed my way and stood before two open 
arms. 
But I turn and walk away because I love you like I do. 
You're the nearest thing to Heaven, darling you.(CHORUS) 
 
VERSE 3: 
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to Earth to cool the day. 
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown 
away. 
I love the pretty flowers but I cannot vie their worth. 
But you're the nearest thing to Heaven on this Earth.(CHORUS)
