Heaven Lyrics
Chris Rea
I see a turning wheel
On a dusty track
Caught in the void and empty space
In between there and back
And the paradise of going somewhere
Thats still so far away
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can
Heaven
Its all bright in front
And its all dark behind
Living for the now thats in between the bridges
And the signs
And getting there is still a long long way to go
While the others dream
This is all I officially need to know
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can
Heaven
