Close Enough to Heaven

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
I asked Jesus in my heart when I was only five
When they told me that he died for me you should have seen me cry
And then my daddy took me to the front, the preacher prayed with me
So I know I’m going to heaven, yah one day i’ll be set free

[Chorus]
But tonight It’s you and me in this old world
You by my side, you’re everything I’ve waited for
Look in my eyes, I couldn’t ask for nothing more
I see the light, this is close enough to heaven tonight

[Verse 2]
So [?] 50 years from now whenever I’m called home
If i leave this world before you don’t be sad for very long
Cause I’ll be waiting on that golden shore and we’ll stroll hand in hand
We don’t have to wait forever because we got our own promises here tonight

[Chorus]
Just you and me in this old world
You by my side, you’re everything I’ve waited for
Look in my eyes, I couldn’t ask for nothing more
I see the light and this is close enough to heaven tonight

[Bridge]
Ain’t nothing else in this old world that feels like this
Closer to paradise with every kiss
Here tonight
Just you and me in this old world
You by my side
It’s everything I’ve waited for
Look in my eyes, I couldn’t ask for nothing more
I see the light and this is close enough to heaven tonight
This is close enough to heaven tonight

[Chorus:]
Girl we’re close enough to heaven tonight
Girl we’re close enough to heaven tonight
Girl we’re close enough to heaven tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

[Instrumental]

[Outro:]
Yeah, tonight
