I've got a picture of your house And you're standing by the door It's black and white and faded It's looking pretty worn See the factory that I worked Silhouetted in the back Memories are great, but Man, they're really coming back
I don't need to be the king of the world As long as I'm the hero of this little girl
Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it everyday No matter what your friends might say
How I love the way you move And the sparkle in your eyes There's a color deep inside them Like blue suburban sky When I come home late at night And you're in bed asleep I wrap my arms around you So I can feel you breathe
I don't need to be a superman As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it everyday (ah, ah) No matter what your friends might say We'll find our way Whoa, yeah, yeah
Now the lights are going out Along the boulevard Memories come rushing back And it makes it pretty hard I've got nowhere left to go And no one really cares I don't know what to do But, I'm never giving up on you
Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it every day (ah, ah) No matter what your friends say I know we're gonna find a way
Heaven Whoa, oh, oh Heaven Whoa, oh, oh Heaven It's not too far away Whoa, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, yeah
