#1.
DI have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue.
  A                                      DI held my breath and watched the western sunset's golden hue.
DI've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green..
               A                                 Dbut you're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen.

CHORUS:
D          G                                 DYou're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
       A                                  DI have searched for happiness so long and far.
D                                       GBut my search for love was through, the day that I found you.
                 D                A                DCause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.

#2.
DI confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms..
         A                                    Dwhen the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms.
D                                      GBut I turned and walked away because I love you like I do,
           A                                 Dyou're the nearest thing to Heaven, darlin', you.

CHORUS:
D          G                                 DYou're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
       A                                  DI have searched for happiness so long and far.
D                                       GBut my search for love was through, the day that I found you.
                 D                A                DCause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.

#3.
DI have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day.
            A                            DWatched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away.
D                                  I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy your worth..
                 A                               Dcause you're the nearest thing to Heaven on this Earth.

CHORUS:
D          G                                 DYou're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
       A                                  DI have searched for happiness so long and far.
D                                       GBut my search for love was through, the day that I found you.
                 D                A                DCause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
