This Close to Heaven

Sittin' on the porch as the rain comes down
I'm a mixed up mind in a mixed up town
Without you, uh, huh

Carryin' a torch for the one I love
It's a hell on earth with no chance for love
Without you, uh, huh

This close to Heaven, I was this close to Heaven
The band plays on but the tune's all wrong
I've been up all night, I've been down too long
Without you, uh, huh

A sentimental fool with a schoolboy drool
There ain't nothin' right, there ain't nothin' cool
Without you, uh, huh

This close to Heaven, I was this close to Heaven
I was this close to Heaven, yeah, I was this close to Heaven
My heart won't slow down, no my heart
(Won't slow down)

This close to Heaven, I was this close to Heaven
I was this close to Heaven, yeah, I was this close to Heaven
My heart won't slow down, my heart won't slow down
My heart won't slow down, no, my heart won't slow down
