Show Me Heaven
I’m sitting on the shelf talking to myself
patience is my current occupation
I’ve learned to live with loneliness making the best
of a good gone bad situation
can’t live on dreams alone but ‘til I met you
a heart full of faith was all I owned
and it would be heavenly
tonight if you were here with me
in this world there are no guarantees
take it from me I know it’s true
wherever you go whatever you do
I will always be in love with you
show me heaven is in the stars above
shining like diamonds for all they’re worth
show me heaven in your sweet love
and be an angel an angel here on earth
I’m drinking hot coffee thinking cold comfort
with Bogart and Bacall for company
working on a broken heart playing a part
in a late night black and white movie
can’t live on dreams alone but ‘til I met you
a handful of hopes was all I owned
and it would be heavenly
tonight if you were here with me
show me heaven is in the stars above
shining like diamonds for all they’re worth
show me heaven in your sweet love
and be an angel an angel here on earth
show me heaven is in the stars above
shining like diamonds for all they’re worth
show me heaven in your sweet love
and be an angel an angel here on earth
show me heaven is in the stars above
shining like diamonds for all they’re worth
show me heaven …
