JOHNNY CASH

- You're The Nearest Thing To Heaven Lyrics

I have sailed the peaceful waters
Of the ocean deep and blue
I held my breath and watched
The western sunset's golden hue

I've flown above the mountain peaks
And valley's wide and green
But you're the nearest thing to heaven
that I've seen

You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes
you are
I have searched for happiness so long and
far
But my search for love was through
The day that I found you
'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven,
yes you are

I confess that I've been tempted
By a luring magic charm
When a smile was flashed my way
And stood before two open arms
But I turned and walked away because
I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven,
darling you
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes
you are
I have searched for happiness so long and
far
But my search for love was through
The day that I found you
'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven,
yes you are

I have watched the silver raindrops
Fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight
When the clouds had blown away
I loved the pretty flowers
Money can not buy their worth
But you're the nearest thing to heaven on
this earth

You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes
you are
I have searched for happiness for long and
far
But my search for love was through
The day that I found you
'Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven,
yes you are
