I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled the sunset golden view
I have sought above the mountain peeks of 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 searched for happiness both near and far
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are
[ el.banjo - steel ]
I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have blown away
I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear
But it's a little more like heaven where you're near
It's a little more like heaven...
