You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven by Johnny Cash
You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven
C
I have sailed the piecefull waters of the ocean wide and blue
G C
I held my breath and watched the western sunset's golden view
I've flown above the mountainpeaks and valley's wide and green
G G7 C
But you're the nearest thing to heaven That I've seen
F C
You're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
G C
I've searched for happiness so long and far
F
But my search for love was through
C
The day that I found you
G G7 C
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
I confess that I've been tempted by the luring magic charms
When a smile was flashed my way and stood before to open marks
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven, darling you
(Chorus)
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 love the pretty flowers but I cannot buy their worth
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth
(Chorus)
