Closer to Heaven

I know I've always been
Such a hard, hard man to love
Thought I gave the best I could
But my best just wasn't good enough
All my intentions just get misunderstood
'Cause a hard lovin' man
Is a hard man to love
Time after time
I should have let my feelings show
Well I know that it don't mean much
But there's something you should know
Chorus
I'm closer to heaven
Than I've ever been
When I'm with you
That's where I belong
I'm closer to heaven
Than I've ever been
And you don't know what you got
Till it's gone
I watch my dreams
Go down the river
I sit here thinking what might have been
And these four walls start closing in
You can't turn back time
And when push comes to shove
Well a hard lovin' man
Is a hard man to love
Deep in my heart
There's a fire still burns for you
From the good times
To the bad times
All the times that we've been through
Chorus
Days keep getting longer
And the nights they seem so cold
When you ain't with the one that you love
Deep in my heart
There's a fire still burns for you
From the good times
To the bad times
All the times that we've been through
Chorus
