As an innocent child, heaven was in the sky
I looked to the brilliant stars as they twinkled
I gazed at a full moon with awesome delight
A rainbow was magic, a prism of many colors
The beauty of fluffy white clouds was alluring
Even raindrops falling brought me such joy
The sun with all it's warm rays were soothing
Yes, to me this was pure and sweet heaven
Then there was nature and all is creatures
The joy of watching birds fly across the sky
I wanted to fly high like the dancing butterflies
From flower to flower the bees were having fun
High upon the trees I heard wonderful songs
Squirrels playing, birds chirping, leaves rustling
Yes, to me this was pure and sweet heaven
As I grew older I discovered heaven in another way
I didn't have to look high to the shimmering stars
I saw the sweet sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes
The warmth of her sweet lips as soothing at the sun
Yes, I learned to fly, but not with wings of doves
Her kisses set me flying like magic into the wind
Her embrace was graceful as dancing butterflies
And when she says she loves me with all her heart
I know it will feel like the rainbows in the sky so beautiful
Yes, to me this was pure and sweet heaven
Yes, I know that this is merely heaven on earth
I believe in another heaven where angels sing
I believe in God who gave us all this beauty
But I must not forget that heaven is within me
I can feel, touch, taste, and yes, even love
So if anyone ever ask me "Which way is heaven?"
I simply will say "Heaven is in my loves eyes
