I have often heard them speak of Heaven
Where all good people go, but still I'd like to know
Is there such a place on Earth as Heaven
I really think it's true since I found you
Oh me, oh my, dear, my idea of Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Is to be in love with you
Oh me, oh my, dear, my idea of Paradise is in your eyes
They're like the skies of blue
I seem to listen to angels whenever you sing
If that isn't Heaven, it's just the next thing
Oh me, oh my, dear, my idea of Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Is to be in love with you
Now, I've got a shoe, you've got a shoe
All God's children got a shoe
But what good are my shoes to me
'Less they're walkin' straight to you
That's Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
I've got some arms, you've got some arms
All God's children got some arms
But what good are my arms to me
'Less to hold your lovin' charms
That's Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
I've got some lips, you've got some lips
Your lips surely are divine
But what good are your lips to me
'Less you press them close to mine
That's Heaven, Lordy, Heaven, Lordy, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
I'm leavin' home, you're leavin' home
All God's children got a home
But don't you think that it's time for us
To build a home that's all our own
That's Heaven, Heaven, and there's one thing more
I seem to listen to angels whenever you sing
Say, if that isn't Heaven, why it's just the next thing
Oh me, oh my, dear, my idea of Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Is to be in love with you
