Nanci Griffith - Heaven lyrics

(Julie Gold)

I think I'll go to Heaven

There I will lay me down

Leave all the pain behind me

I'll bury it in the ground

Maybe they'll talk about me

I pray it won't be lies

I think I'll go to Heaven

Heaven is in your eyes

I think I'll go to Heaven

I heard it's peaceful there

They don't allow your troubles

Everyone's had their share

And if I can be someone who never needs a disguise

Then maybe I'll go to Heaven

Heaven is in your eyes

People in Heaven never look back

Higher and higher the past fades to black

Maybe I'll go to Heaven

I'll sail onto the night

I'll watch as I set my soul free

Watch as my heart takes flight

Maybe I am too simple

Maybe I am too wise

And maybe I'll go to Heaven

Heaven is in your eyes
