Hank Locklin - It's A Little More Like Heaven lyrics

I have sailed the peaceful water salty ocean deep and blue

Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset's golden view

I've sought above the mountain peeks for valleys great and wide

But it's a little more like heaven by your side.

It's a little more like heaven where you are

I have sought for happiness both near and far

But my search for love was through the day that I met you

'Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are.

I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day

Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have flown away

I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear

But it's a little more like heaven when you're near.

It's a little more like heaven where you are

I have sought for happiness both near and far

But my search for love was through the day that I met you

'Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are.

I've been tempted for a moment by your lure and magic charms

Of a fickle flame and beauty while waltzin' in her arms

I cherrished mem'ries of the past of friends so kind and true

But it's a little more like heaven here with you.

It's a little more like heaven where you are

I have sought for happiness both near and far

But my search for love was through the day that I met you

'Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are.
