Sittin' on the porch as the rain comes down
I'm a mixed up mind in a mixed up town
Without you
Uh huh

Carryin' a tourch for the one I love
It's a hell on earth with no chance for love
Without you
Uh huh
This close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
The band plays on but the tune's all wrong
I've been up all night
I've been down too long without you
Uh huh
A sentimental fool with a schoolboy drool
There ain't nothin' right
There ain't nothin' cool without you
Uh huh
This close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
Yeh I was this close to heaven
My heart won't slow down
No my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaart (won't slow down)
(music)
This close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
Yeh I was this close to heaven
My heaaaart won't slow down
My heaaaart won't slow down
My heaaaart won't slow down
No my heeeeaaaart won't slow down
