[00:07.00]I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
[00:12.71]I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue
[00:18.74]I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
[00:24.50]But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
[00:30.45][01:17.68][02:10.73]You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are
[00:36.31][01:23.26][02:16.41]I have searched for happiness so long and far
[00:42.02][01:28.99][02:22.32]But my search for love was through the day that I found you
[00:48.02][01:35.33][02:28.29]Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are
[00:54.25]I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms
[01:00.04]When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms
[01:05.96]But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
[01:11.84]You're the nearest thing to heaven darlin' you
[01:47.24]I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
[01:53.18]Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away
[01:59.19]I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth
[02:04.98]Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth
