[00:06.30]I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
[00:12.00]I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue
[00:17.64]I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
[00:23.01]But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
[00:28.62]You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are
[00:34.47]I have searched for happiness so long and far
[00:39.96]But my search for love was through, the day that I found you
[00:45.21]'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are
[00:51.51]I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms
[00:57.18]When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms
[01:02.85]But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
[01:08.46]You're the nearest thing to heaven, darlin' you
[01:13.83]You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are
[01:19.68]I have searched for happiness so long and far
[01:25.17]But my search for love was through, the day that I found you
[01:30.33]'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are
[01:42.21]I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
[01:47.91]Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away
[01:53.67]I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy their worth
[01:59.01]But you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth
[02:04.62]You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are
[02:10.44]I have searched for happiness so long and far
[02:15.87]But my search for love was through, the day that I found you
[02:21.15]'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes, you are
