closest thing to heaven

"I'm feeling kind of emotional right now. If you are feeling this way - sometimes you want to relax, just lie down, watch your favorite tv show or listen to your favorite music. This is one of my favorite schmaltzy song from Carl Anderson - a jazz singer who has an amazing voice!"

Love was tender, remember
I looked and it was in your eyes
And the moment to form with, it triggered my emotions
All you have to do is call And I come running
Why did you have to throw it all away
Leading me wondrin’ what to do or say

You’re the closest sign I’ve been there to heaven
I’m the farthest thing from your mind
Though we make believe that we’re still together
I know it’s just a matter of time
I keep hoping we won’t have let it slip away

Love was being and feeling
Nothing could ever take it’s place
We would give it, we lived it
We took it to the limit
Though it’s for the rest of our lives
Or was I dreaming
Maybe I should have realized from the start
That it was leading to a broken heart

You’re the closest sign that I’ve been in heaven
I’m the farthest thing from your mind
Though we make believe that we’re still together
I know it’s just a matter of time
I keep hoping we won’t have let it slip away

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

You’re the closest sign that I’ve been to heaven
I’m the farthest thing in your mind
Though 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.. yeah
No one can take your place..
Woohh..
