The Closest Thing to Heaven Songtext
von Carl Anderson

Love was tender
Remember
I looked and it was in your eyes
And the moment
The phone went
It triggered my emotions

All you have to do is call
And I came running
Why did you have to throw it all away
Leaving me wandering what to do or say

You′re the closest I've ever been to heaven
And I′m the furthest thing from your mind
I know we make believe that we're still together
I know it's just a matter of time
I keep hoping we won′t have to let it
Slip away


Love was being and feeling
Nothing could ever take its place
We would give it, we lived it
We took it to the limit

Was it for the rest of our lives
Or was I dreaming
Maybe I should′ve realized from the start
That it was leading to a broken heart

You're the closest I′ve ever been to heaven
And I'm the furthest thing from your mind
I know we make believe that we′re still together
I know it's just a matter of time
I keep hoping we won′t have to let it
Slip away

If only you knew how much I cried
I want you to stay

You're the closest I've ever been to heaven
And I′m the furthest thing from your mind
I know we make believe that we′re still together
I know it's just a matter of time
I keep hoping we won′t have to let it
Slip away


I keep hoping we won't have to let it
Slip away

I keep hoping we won′t have to let it
Slip away

Slip away
Don't let it
Slip away
He-ey
(No one could take your place)
