{c: }
[D] I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
I [A7] held my breath and watched the western [D] sunsets golden hue
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
But you're the [A7] nearest thing to heaven that I've [D] seen
You're the [G] nearest thing to heaven, yes you [D] are
I have [A7] searched for happiness so long and [D] far
But my search for love was through the [G] day that I found you
Cause you're the [D] nearest thing to [A7] heaven, yes you [D] are
I confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms
When a [A7] smile was flashed my way and stood [D] before two open arms
But I turn and walk away because I love you like I do
You're the [A7] nearest thing to heaven, darling [D] you
You're the [G] nearest thing to heaven, yes you [D] are
I have [A7] searched for happiness so long and [D] far
But my search for love was through the [G] day that I found you
Cause you're the [D] nearest thing to [A7] heaven, yes you [D] are
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the [A7] rainbow at twilight when the [D] clouds had blown away
I love the pretty flowers but he cannot buy their worth
But you're the [A7] nearest thing to heaven on this [D] earth
You're the [G] nearest thing to heaven, yes you [D] are
I have [A7] searched for happiness so long and [D] far
But my search for love was through the [G] day that I found you
Cause you're the [D] nearest thing to [A7] heaven, yes you [D] are [G] [D]
