It's a long way to heaven, so I've been told
It's a long road to get there, you know
But the moment I wake and I look at your face
Oh I'm closer to heaven, I know
Yes I'm closer to heaven I know

There's so many fish in the sea
So many fish I can't breathe
For a fish that is right you could wait all your life
But you're perfectly perfect to me
Yes you're perfectly perfect to me

Do you ever get the feeling you're floating on the ceiling
While birds fly up in the sky
Don't it make you wonder why
Everything always goes up before
It always comes down

Silently drifting away
As the night rolls on into the day
So sing for your life when the moment feels right
Oh it's all about loving this life
Yes it's all about loving this life

Do you ever get the feeling you're floating on the ceiling
While birds fly up in the sky
Don't it make you wonder why
Everything always goes up before
It always comes down
It's a long way to heaven, so I've been told
It's a long road to get there, you know
But the moment I wake and I look at your face
Oh I'm closer to heaven, I know
Yes I'm closer to heaven I know
