Closer to Heaven

I know I've always been
Such a hard, hard man to love
Thought I gave the best I could
But my best wasn't good enough
All my intentions just get misunderstood
'Cause a hard-loving man
Is a hard man to love, yeah

So many times
Should have let my feelings show
And I know that it don't mean much
But there's something you should know

I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
'Cause when I'm with you
That's where I belong, yeah
I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
And you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

I watched my dreams go down the river
Sit here thinkin' what might have been
These four walls start closin' in
You can't turn back time
And when push comes to shove
And a hard-loving man
Is a hard man to love, yeah

Deep in my heart
There's a fire burns for you
From the good times to the bad times
All the times we've been through

Closer to heaven than I've ever been
When I'm with you
That's where I belong, yeah
I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
And you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

Days keep getting longer
And the nights, they seem so cold
When you ain't with the one that you love

I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
'Cause when I'm with you
That's where I belong, yeah
I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
And you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
I'm closer to heaven
