Billie Holiday
She eventually feels at peace when her men leave her all alone – she prefers it actually. Her solitude and the wonderful life she’s created for herself is like heaven to her. Her life is a dream, and he was just living in it.
This song could also be about lithium, or opiates.
[Verse 1]
When I hear them say
There's better living
Let them go their way
To that new living
I won't ever stray
'Cause this is heaven to me
[Verse 2]
Long as freedom grows (Long as freedom grows)
I want to seek it
If it's yes or no (If it's yes or no)
It's me who'll speak it
'Cause the Lord, He knows
That this is heaven to me
[Bridge]
If you got your hands
And got your feet
To plow your land
And cut your wheat
You raise your head
When night is done
Shout your thanks up to the sun
[Verse 3]
So, when I hear them say (Go away, go away)
There's better living
Let them go their way (Go away, go away)
To that new living
I won't ever stray
'Cause this is heaven to me
[Outro]
'Cause this is heaven to me
This Is Heaven to Me was written by Ernest G. Schweikert & Frank Reardon.
