I have sailed the peaceful water salty ocean deep and blue Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset's golden view I've sought above the mountain peeks for valleys great and wide But it's a little more like heaven by your side It's a little more like heaven where you are I have sought for happiness both near and far But my search for love was through the day that I met you Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have flown away I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear But it's a little more like heaven when you're near It's a little more like heaven... I've been tempted for a moment by your lure and magic charms Of a fickle flame and beauty while waltzin' in her arms I cherrished mem'ries of the past of friends so kind and true But it's a little more like heaven here with you It's a little more like heaven...
