Closer To Heaven

I know I've always been

Such a hard, hard man to love

Thought I gave the best I could

But my best just wasn't good enough

All my intentions just get misunderstood

'Cos a hard lovin' man is a hard man to love

So many times

I should have let my feelings show

And I know that it don't mean much

But there's something you should know

I'm closer to heaven

Than I've ever been

When I'm with you

That's where I belong

I'm closer to heaven

Than I've ever been

And you don't know what you get till it's gone

I watch my dreams go down the river

I sit here thinking what might have been

And these four walls start closing in

You can't turn back time

And when push comes to shove

Well a hard lovin' man is a hard man to love

Deep in my heart

There's a fire still burns for you

From the good times to the bad times

All the times that we've been through

I'm closer to heaven

Than I've ever been

When I'm with you

That's where I belong

I'm closer to heaven

Than I've ever been

And you don't know what you get till it's gone

Days keep getting longer

And the nights they seem so cold

When you ain't with the one that you love

Time after time

I should have let my feelings show

And I know that it don't mean much

But there's something you should know

I'm closer to heaven

Than I've ever been

When I'm with you

That's where I belong

I'm closer to heaven

Than I've ever been

And you don't know what you get till it's gone

Don't know what you get

Till it's gone
