Lyrics
Only Heaven Knows
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.
What do you do, when it's all behind you
Every day, someone else reminds you
When times were sweet.
Wings on your feet, and bells on your toes
Ahh, only heaven knows....
What do you do when you've lost the feeling
Nowhere to go, you've reached the ceiling
Right behind the floor, no window, no door,
Yeah, everything's closed
Oh, only heaven knows.
Love is a treat, it's a magical feat
Illusion of the real;
You're never quite sure if it's real what you feel
Or just something, yeah, that you've felt before.
Only heaven knows.
Love is a treat, it's a magical feat, etc.
What do you do when you know you're losing
Sit on your ass and let the blues in;
Think of what you had
And how it all went bad;
You sent her a rose
And only heaven knows only heaven knows
