Lyrics
Heaven Is One Step Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We searched all through the night.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I knew something wasn't right.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
And then there came the dawn:
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
Chorus
We didn't leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I don't get it, I don't understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?
Repeat First Verse
Chorus
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
