[Bb] [Eb]
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue.
[Bb] I held my breath and watched the western [Eb] sun sets golden hue.
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and free.
But [Bb] you're the nearest thing to heaven that [Eb] I've seen.
You're [Ab] the nearest thing to heaven, yes [Eb] you are.
I [Bb] have searched for happiness so long [Eb] and far.
But my search for love was through [Ab] the day that I found you.
Cause [Eb] you're the [Bb] nearest thing to heaven.
[Bb] [Eb]
I confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms.
When [Bb] a smile was flashed my way, that [Eb] stood before two open arms.
But I turn and walk away because I love you like I do.
[Bb] You're the nearest thing to heaven, [Eb] darling you.
You're [Ab] the nearest thing to heaven, yes [Eb] you are.
I [Bb] have searched for happiness so [Eb] long and far.
But my search for love was through [Ab] the day that I found you.
Cause [Eb] you're the nearest thing [Bb] to heaven, [Eb] yes you are.
[F] [Eb]
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day.
[Bb] Watched the rainbow at twilight when [Eb] the clouds had blown away.
I loved the pretty flowers but I cannot find their worth.
But [Bb] you're the nearest thing to heaven [Eb] on this earth.
You're [Ab] the nearest thing to heaven, yes [Eb] you are.
I [Bb] have searched for happiness so long [Eb] and far.
But my search for love was through [Ab] the day that I found you.
Cause [Eb] you're the nearest [Bb] thing to heaven, yes [Eb] you are.
[Ab] [Eb] [N]
