I have sailed across the waters salty ocean deep and blue Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset golden view I have sought above the mountain peeks or valleys great and wide But it's a little more like heaven by your side It's a little more like heaven where you are I have sought for happiness both near and far But my search for love was through the day that I met you Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are [ piano ] I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have blown away I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear But it's a little more like heaven when you're near (It's a little more like heaven where you are) I have sought for happiness both near and far (But my search for love was through the day that I met you) Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are [ vibes ] I have tempted for a moment by a lure and magic charms Of fickle flame and beauty while waltzing in her arms I cherrished mem'ries of the past of friends so kind and true But it's a little more like heaven dear with you (It's a little more like heaven where you are) I have sought for happiness both near and far (But my search for love was through the day that I met you) Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are (Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are)
